Summary

Results indicate that the pili of G. sulfurreducens might serve as biological nanowires, transferring electrons from the cell surface to the surface of Fe(iii) oxides, indicating possibilities for other unique cell-surface and cell–cell interactions, and for bioengineering of novel conductive materials.
