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. Check out the Electromicrobiology Conference 2027 https://conferences.au.dk/electromicrobiology-2027

@cemau.bsky.socialThis is a major step toward more reproducible studies of cable bacteria physiology, ecology and microbial interactions. Grateful to @electromicrobe.bsky.social @ianpgm.bsky.social, @robinbonne.bsky.social, @martasu.bsky.social, @larspeternielsen.bsky.social and other coauthors. @cemau.bsky.social
Show PostPleased to share this work on cable bacteria. We demonstrate that E.aureum GS, a freshwater cable bacterium, can use extracellular electron transfer to gain energy in anoxic conditions. Many thanks to @leodigel.bsky.social , @ianpgm.bsky.social and other coauthors at @cemau.bsky.social
Show PostNew 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...
