This study shows that Staphylococcus aureus biofilms naturally assemble G4-rich extracellular nucleic acids that facilitate electron transfer, with spatial organization influencing electroactivity.

This paper demonstrates that prophages can be used to synthesize functional extracellular DNA superstructures via rolling circle replication in bacterial biofilms.

This study shows that hemin-binding G-quadruplex DNA structures in bacterial biofilms facilitate extracellular electron transfer and peroxidase-like activity.

The paper shows extracellular RNA facilitates electron transfer in Methanosarcina barkeri, enabling electromethanogenesis, and suggests RNA-based electron transfer may be ancestral.
