Our new study shows how nickel limitation changes electron flow in methanogens. Great collaboration @mpi_marburg @MPIbp #methanogens #methane #archaea
I'm excited to share our new publication in @Nature! We showed that under Ni-limited conditions, similar to those in nature, #methanogens shift electron flow from [NiFe]- to [Fe]-hydrogenase Hmd with the help of a newly discovered protein complex, Elp. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Cable bacteria link together (thousands of cells, end-to-end) to conduct electrons across distances up to 7 centimeters. They are living batteries. They were discovered in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. I visited Aarhus last year to see them in person, and wrote about it today.
