Abstract
- Metal-like conductivity of nanowires is a novel concept in bio-electron transport.
- Microbial nanowires play a role in multiple forms of extracellular electron transfer.
- Nanowires can facilitate interspecies electron transfer in methanogenic digesters.
- Increasing nanowire production enhances current densities in microbial fuel cells.
- More information on diversity and function will facilitate additional applications.
