No one had ever imagined the existence of cable bacteria: life based on internal electric wires. We aim to unravel how this unique form of life functions.

New preprint by @kartiksaiyer.bsky.social, @leodigel.bsky.social and others from @cemau.bsky.social about how cable bacteria grow using electrodes instead of oxygen: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Extracellular electron transfer in cable bacteria enables growth rates comparable to aerobic respiration
Cable bacteria are filamentous sulphide-oxidisers performing long-distance electron transfer in redox-stratified sediments by transporting electrons over centimetre-scale distances to reduce oxygen. H...

🔍 On the hunt for cable bacteria again! 🔍
Last week, most of the Ecology team at CEM: Mie, Lea, Ugo, @larspeternielsen.bsky.social & Andreas had a great day in the field at Norsminde Fjord and Følle Vig, exploring the population dynamic and activity of cable bacteria along our local coasts🔬🌿🌊

Huge congratulations Marta.
What a moving story! 😊
What a moving story! 😊
As a science-loving girl growing up in Poland, Maria Skłodowska-Curie was my role model, so much so that I once portrayed her in a school play! 😅 Now, 15 years later, receiving a positive result on my #MSCA application feels surreal. A full-circle moment I never imagined back then!
