(author), Geelhoed, Jeanine S. (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author)Cable bacteria are filamentous, multicellular microorganisms that display an exceptional form of biological electron transport across centimeter-scale distances. Currents are guided through a network of nickel-containing protein fibers within the cell envelope. Still, the mechanism of long-range conduction remains unresolved. Here, we...journal article 2024

Thiruvallur Eachambadi, Raghavendran (author), Bonné, Robin (author), Cornelissen, Rob (author), Hidalgo-Martinez, Silvia (author), Vangronsveld, Jaco (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author), Valcke, Roland (author), Cleuren, Bart (author), Manca, Jean V. (author)Cable bacteria are an emerging class of electroactive organisms that sustain unprecedented long-range electron transport across centimeter-scale distances. The local pathways of the electrical currents in these filamentous microorganisms remain unresolved. Here, the electrical circuitry in a single cable bacterium is visualized with...journal article 2020

Bjerg, Jesper T. (author), Boschker, H.T.S. (author), Larsen, Steffen (author), Berry, David (author), Schmid, Markus (author), Millo, Diego (author), Tataru, Paula (author), Meysman, F.J.R. (author), Wagner, Michael (author), Nielsen, Lars Peter (author), Schramm, Andreas (author)Electron transport within living cells is essential for energy conservation in all respiring and photosynthetic organisms. While a few bacteria transport electrons over micrometer distances to their surroundings, filaments of cable bacteria are hypothesized to conduct electric currents over centimeter distances. We used resonance Raman...journal article 2018
