To investigate the formation and respiratory role of nanowires in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1.
Conducted live fluorescence measurements and immunolabeling of S. oneidensis MR-1.
Performed quantitative gene expression analysis to assess nanowire composition.
Examined the association of nanowires with outer membrane vesicles.
Identified nanowires as extensions of the outer membrane and periplasm containing multiheme cytochromes.
Demonstrated that these structures facilitate long-range extracellular electron transport through redox hopping.
Highlighted the potential of redox-functionalized membrane extensions as a general electron transport strategy in microbial interactions.
