Title:
Fundamentals and Control of Electron Transport at Cellular-Electronic Interfaces
Report Date:
2021-04-14
Abstract:
This AFOSR PECASE award led to major discoveries of the structure-function relationships and charge transport physics in metal-reducing bacteria across length scales - from individual metalloproteinase to bacterial nanowires, single cells, and multicellular biofilms. These discoveries include (i) describing a multistep electron hopping mechanism in cell surface cytochromes that allow biotic-abiotic electron exchange; (ii) the development of new computational and immersive visualization strategies for understanding electron transport dynamics in large redox networks; (iii) discovering the structural basis of bacterial nanowires in an important environmental organism; and (iv) demonstrating multi-cell redox conduction. These discoveries were reported in 20 peer reviewed publications, fully or partially supported by this AFOSR PECASE award.
