Using Microbial Nanowires for Sustainable Electricity Generation
Microbial nanowires are referred to as filaments with electricity conduction properties capable of transmitting electrons in a long-range extracellular fashion. Electron transmitting is processed along Shewanella oneidensis nanowires through electron tunneling and hopping between cytochromes residing on the filaments. Nanowires such as Geobacter sulfurreducens are basically made of pili conductive metal-like structures owing to their overlapping π-π orbitals of aromatic amino acids. Geobact
