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...
