Abstract

Cable bacteria are living electric wires, exerting remarkable effects on their surroundings. Despite still refusing pure culture isolation, their biological conductivity and their impact on aquatic sediments give rise to interesting application prospects in environmental and bio-engineering, including bioremediation, the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, and bioelectronics. Here, we summarize how research is currently striving to realize the very versatile application potential of these fascinating bacteria.
