Cable bacteria with electric connection to oxygen attract flocks of diverse bacteria
Cable bacteria are centimeter-long filamentous microbes that conduct electrons via internal wires, thus coupling sulfide oxidation between sediment layers. Here, Bjerg et al. show that the anoxic part of oxygen-respiring cable bacteria attracts swarms of other bacteria, which appear to transfer elec...
