- W3179665071 abstract "Abstract Geobacter sulfurreducens is a model microbe for elucidating the mechanisms for extracellular electron transfer in several biogeochemical cycles, bioelectrochemical applications, and microbial metal corrosion. Multiple lines of evidence previously suggested that electrically conductive pili (e-pili) are an essential conduit for long-range extracellular electron transport in G. sulfurreducens . However, it has recently been reported that G. sulfurreducens does not express e-pili and that filaments comprised of multi-heme c -type cytochromes are responsible for long-range electron transport. This possibility was directly investigated by examining cells, rather than filament preparations, with atomic force microscopy. Approximately 90 % of the filaments emanating from wild-type cells had a diameter (3 nm) and conductance consistent with previous reports of e-pili harvested from G. sulfurreducens or heterologously expressed in E. coli from the G. sulfurreducens pilin gene. The remaining 10% of filaments had a morphology consistent with filaments comprised of the c -type cytochrome OmcS. A strain expressing a modified pilin gene designed to yield poorly conductive pili expressed 90 % filaments with a 3 nm diameter, but greatly reduced conductance, further indicating that the 3 nm diameter conductive filaments in the wild-type strain were e-pili. A strain in which genes for five of the most abundant outer-surface c -type cytochromes, including OmcS, was deleted yielded only 3 nm diameter filaments with the same conductance as in the wild-type. These results demonstrate that e-pili are the most abundant conductive filaments expressed by G. sulfurreducens , consistent with previous functional studies demonstrating the need for e-pili for long-range extracellular electron transfer. Importance Electroactive microbes have significant environmental impacts as well as applications in bioenergy and bioremediation. The composition, function, and even existence of electrically conductive pili (e-pili) has been one of the most contentious areas of investigation in electromicrobiology, in part because e-pili offer a mechanism for long-range electron transport that does not involve the metal co-factors common in much of biological electron transport. This study demonstrates that e-pili are abundant filaments emanating from Geobacter sulfurreducens , which serves as a model for long-range extracellular electron transfer in direct interspecies electron transfer, dissimilatory metal reduction, microbe-electrode exchange, and corrosion caused by direct electron uptake from Fe(0). The methods described in this study provide a simple strategy for evaluating the distribution of conductive filaments throughout the microbial world with an approach that avoids artifactual production and/or enrichment of filaments that may not be physiologically relevant." @default.
