Long-range extracellular electron transfer enables respiring microbes to use minerals, other organisms, or electrodes as electron acceptors by transporting electrons microns away from the cell surface...

Ricca et al discover a new family of tubular pili in Microcystis aeruginosa, a harmful algal bloom-forming cyanobacterium. These pili are crucial for buoyancy by forming cell micro-colonies, which inc...

Type IV pili (T4P) are long surface appendages assembled from small pilin proteins that participate in diverse functions such as adhesion and biofilm formation in archaea. Here, the authors show that ...
