AI summary

70% confidence

Electrical measurements on Geobacter 'nanowires' suggest that they may not be metallic-like pili, but rather redox active cytochromes.

Abstract

Key findings

  • Geobacter 'nanowires' exhibit electrical conductivity, but not in a way that is consistent with metallic-like pili.
  • The electrical properties of Geobacter 'nanowires' are more consistent with redox active cytochromes.
  • The presence of cytochromes in Geobacter 'nanowires' is a key factor in their electrical conductivity.
