  2. An Ultra-Stable Protein Nanowire Made by Bacteria microbiologycommunity.nature.c

    Structure of #Geobacter cytochrome OmcZ identifies mechanism of nanowire assembly and conductivity nature.com/articles/s41564-022

    #Bacteria deep in the #soil need #nanowires made up of #cytochrome OmcZ to export electrons to extracellular acceptors in order to survive without oxygen. New research explains how bacteria make nanowires on demand and why only OmcZ nanowires show extremely high electron #conductivity.
