Only connect : Members of genus Shewanella are Gram‐negative bacteria that can utilize solid‐state metal oxide as a terminal electron acceptor for respiration. The direct electrical connection between a single cell and a microelectrode is characterized by an optical tweezers technique (see picture; ITO=indium tin oxide).
