TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that nanofilaments derived from natural amino acids can have metallic-like conductivity and showed that they can be used to construct a metallic conductivity network.

TL;DR: Results suggest that biofilms grown harvesting current are specifically poised for electron transfer to electrodes and that, in addition to pili, OmcZ is a key component in electron transfer through differentiated G. sulfurreducensBiofilms to electrodes.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that it is possible to enhance the ability of microorganisms to electrochemically interact with electrodes with the appropriate selective pressure and that improved current production is associated with clear differences in the properties of the outer surface of the cell that may provide insights into the mechanisms for microbe-electrode interactions.

TL;DR: The biochemical properties and extracellular localization of OmcZ suggest that it is well suited for promoting electron transfer in current-producing biofilms of G. sulfurreducens.

TL;DR: It is indicated that c-type cytochromes are involved in U(VI) reduction by Geobacter sulfurreducens and the lack of correlation between periplasmic uranium accumulation and the capacity for uranium reduction is supported.
