Cytochrome “nanowires” are physically limited to sub-picoamp currents that suffice for cellular respiration

Mineral-respiring microorganisms from hydrothermal vents to terrestrial soils express filaments that electrically connect intracellular respiration to extracellular geochemistry. Filaments dubbed “cytochrome nanowires” (CNs) have been resolved by CryoEM, but whether they are the two-decades-long sou...
