No one had ever imagined the existence of cable bacteria: life based on internal electric wires. We aim to unravel how this unique form of life functions.

Congratulations to @kartiksaiyer.bsky.social and co-authors for a new publication showing that cable bacteria can grow under anoxic conditions via extracellular electron transfer, with growth rates comparable to those of aerobic respiration (👉see link in comments)
Throwback to our Retreat
Time away created space for reflection, connection and discussions. Sharing research perspectives highlighted the value of exchanging knowledge and aligning where we stand.
Stronger collaborations and connections across projects. Grateful for the insights and great moments🙌

Retreat day 1🌿
Yesterday, CEM arrived at MolsLab in beautiful sunshine, kicking off our annual 3-day retreat dedicated to deep dives into CEM’s key research areas.
We spent the day in focused scientific group work across our core topics, bringing together diverse skills, backgrounds and disciplines
Last week, we welcomed @dg.dk to CEM for our annual follow-up meeting.
This year’s theme, “Conditions for Risk-Taking,” sparked engaging discussions on risk, failure, and ambitious research across career stages.
Thank you to DNRF for another inspiring and constructive visit 🔬

This February we said goodbye to our Guest PhD-student, Gabriella, who has been visiting CEM from Italy. During her stay Gabriella contributed academically while also becoming a valued part of our community🔬🌟
Thank you for being part of CEM, Gabriella!✨

Last month, we had the pleasure of celebrating Lars Peter Nielsen's 40-year anniversary at Aarhus University 🎉
The day was celebrated with colleagues, collaborators, friends and family, with music, food and a number of speeches.
Congratulations to Lars Peter on 40 outstanding years👏🥂

In this study, the authors show that cable bacteria perform extracellular electron transfer via direct and flavin-mediated pathways, which enables growth under anoxic conditions at rates comparable to...
