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🙌
Pleased to share our preprint on a cultivation system for cable bacteria using artificial sediments, removing the variability of natural samples. The system supports growth, serial transfer, and recapitulates key geochemical gradients and microbial interactions.

Pleased to share this article with @asm.org .
Excited to share our paper in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social
We explore how microbes can simultaneously use oxygen and alternative electron acceptors, reshaping how we think about respiration. We also discuss the evolutionary context and how it can be studied.

It was a really great collaboration with @electromicrobe.bsky.social and others at the @cemau.bsky.social . Sincere thanks to all coauthors for their contributions.
