Abstract

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) allows microbes to drive their metabolism through interactions with minerals or electrodes. In recent work, Light et al. (2018) discover a specialized EET pathway in Listeria monocytogenes with homologs in pathogens and gut commensals, suggesting that EET plays important roles in diverse environments.
