  • Microbial nanowires and products related thereto
    Patent number: 8729233
    Abstract: A nanowire comprising a purified protein filament, such as a pilus, isolated from a bacterium, such as Geobacter sulfurreducens, is provided. Such a purified pilus can contain peptide subunits capable of assembling into the protein filament and establishing an electrical connection with an insoluble electron acceptor. The novel nanowires can be produced via a novel single step. Such nanowires are useful in applications requiring rectifying behavior.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 30, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2014
    Assignee: Board of Trustees of Michigan State University
    Inventors: Gemma Reguera, Stuart Tessmer, Joshua Veazey, Sanela Lampa-Pastirk
