Down to the wire : electro‐active bacteria that exchange electrons with solid electrodes are studied by electrochemical and infrared techniques. The approach allows the identification of cell‐surface molecules involved in the direct electron transfer to the electrode, a development that is crucial for future utilization of these electricity‐producing microorganisms.
