Technical Field

Background
Microbial nanowires (also known as protein nanowires), originally found in Geobacter sulfurettii, are a flagella-like attachment structure for microorganisms. The microbial nanowires have conductivity, can reach tens of microns in length, and can transfer electrons to an extracellular electron acceptor, so that bacteria can breathe in a severe environment lacking a soluble and permeable membrane electron acceptor (such as oxygen), and the microbial nanowires have a unique effect in microbial life activities.
The microbial nanowires are considered as a green energy material with great application value, have good biocompatibility and biodegradability, and represent an important future development direction of microbial electrochemistry. The excellent conductivity of the microbial nano-wire endows the microbial nano-wire with higher electron transfer efficiency compared with other electron transfer modes, and the special structural form endows the microbial nano-wire with the capability of enabling an electroactive microbe to realize the extracellular electron transfer without directly contacting an electron acceptor. However, the research on the microbial nanowires is still in the initial stage. Firstly, the comparative study of inducing the microorganism to express the nanowire by different methods is rarely reported; secondly, the electron transfer mechanism of the microbial nanowires is still controversial, the ecological function is still to be explored, and the practical application is still to be expanded. The current main technical bottleneck is how to improve the induced expression and purification efficiency of the microorganism nanowires and promote the scale application of the microorganism nanowires.
