Mudflat Microbes Unleashed: How Nickel‑Rich Bacteria Could Power Tomorrow
In the murky mudflats of Oregon’s Yaquina Bay, researchers have uncovered a brand-new species of “cable” bacteria (Ca. Electrothrix yaqonensis) that literally acts like living wiring. These tiny powerhouses weave long, thread-like chains of cells studded with nickel-rich fibers—nature’s own nano–electrical conduits! By shuttling electrons along these microscopic cables, they link deep, sulfur-rich layers of […]
