Scientists discover electricity-conducting bacteria with nickel-based fibers

Scientists have identified a new species of bacteria in the mudflats of Oregon's Yaquina Bay that is capable of conducting electricity, a property uncommon among living organisms.

Scientists Have Just Discovered a New Type of Electricity-Conducting Bacteria

A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique morphology and genetic structure may be useful for the development of bioelectronics.

Scientists have discovered bacteria that can conduct electricity

A recently discovered species of bacteria is lighting up the scientific space. The organism is capable of conducting electricity effectively, almost like a cable wire. The bacteria could be used in the field of bioelectrics and also has the potential to help clean up pollution. A shocking discovery A new species of bacteria has the ability to act as electric wiring, according to a study published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbio…

Oregon mudflats yield electric surprise: Novel bacterium conducts electricity like a wire

A novel discovery in the muddy intertidal zones of the Oregon coast has unveiled a new species of bacterium with the remarkable ability to conduct electricity like a wire. Dubbed Ca. Electrothrix yaqonensis in a respectful nod to the Yaqo’n people, the First Nations community indigenous to the discovery location, this microbe offers fascinating insights […]

For almost four billion years, microbes have shaped our planet. They appeared here much earlier than any other organisms and made it possible for more complex life forms, such as vertebrates, to appear on Earth. When we talk about microbes, we usually mean bacteria and archaea, as well as single-celled organisms with nuclei. The practical criterion is that we cannot see them with the naked eye.
