The bacteria of the family Desulfobulbaceae are like living electric cables—they can conduct electrons over centimeter-scale distances along their filamentous structures. These electric currents can ...

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Aarhus University, Denmark, researchers have confirmed protonic conductivity over distances exceeding 100 micrometers along filamentous Desulfobulbaceae, commonly ...

ATLANTA — Select gut bacteria protect mice against post-influenza virus secondary bacterial pneumonia, according to a study published by researchers ...

Cable bacteria are filamentous microorganisms that perform electrogenic sulphur oxidation (e-SOx), a process whereby electrons generated from the oxidation of sulfide in anoxic sediment layers are ...

The filamentous bacterium Corynebacterium matruchotii splitting into multiple cells at once, a rare kind of cell division called multiple fission. C. matruchotii is one of the most common bacteria ...
