Abstract: Electrically conductive pili (e-pili) enable long-range electron exchange between microorganisms and their extracellular environment and show promise as a ‘green’ electronic material. Most studies have focused on the e-pili of G. sulfurreducens, which play a… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Cytochrome-to-cytochrome electron transfer and electron transfer along conduits of multiple extracellular magnetite grains are often proposed as strategies for direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) that do not require electrically conductive pili (e-pili). However, physical… read more here.
