Cable Bacteria: an Ordered and Fail‐Safe Electrical Network in Cable Bacteria (adv. Biosys. 7/2020)

Long before the age of microelectronics, a group of filamentous microorganisms named cable bacteria developed an electrical network within their own cell structure. In article number 2000006, Jean V. Manca and co-workers present the local electrical pathways for cable bacteria using conductive atomic force microscopy, showing a fail-safe electrical structure conducted by parallel and electrically interconnected biological fibers.
