FeS source: A metal‐reducing bacterium, Shewanella loihica PV‐4, has evolved the ability to utilize Fe 3d electrons from biogenic FeS as a long‐distance electron‐transfer conduit. Self‐organizing, electron‐conducting cellular networks enable the generation of a microbial current two orders of magnitude higher than in cell cultures lacking the biogenic minerals.
