Direct Observation of Electrically Conductive Pili Emanating from <italic toggle="yes">Geobacter sulfurreducens</italic>

ABSTRACT Geobacter sulfurreducens is a model microbe for elucidating the mechanisms for extracellular electron transfer in several biogeochemical cycles, bioelectrochemical applications, and microbial metal corrosion. Multiple lines of evidence previously suggested that electrically conductive pili...
