	abstract = {<p> pilin-based electrically conductive protein nanowires (e-PNs) are a revolutionary electronic material. They offer novel options for electronic sensing applications and have the remarkable ability to harvest electrical energy from atmospheric humidity. However, technical constraints limit mass cultivation and genetic manipulation of . Therefore, we designed a strain of  to express e-PNs by introducing a plasmid that contained an inducible operon with  genes for type IV pili biogenesis machinery and a synthetic gene designed to yield a peptide monomer that could be assembled into e-PNs. The e-PNs expressed in  and harvested with a simple filtration method had the same diameter (3 nm) and conductance as e-PNs expressed in . These results, coupled with the robustness of  for mass cultivation and the extensive  toolbox for genetic manipulation, greatly expand the opportunities for large-scale fabrication of novel e-PNs.</p>},

	abstract = {Rel(Gsu) is the single Geobacter sulfurreducens homolog of RelA and SpoT proteins found in many organisms. These proteins are involved in the regulation of levels of guanosine 3{\textquoteright}, 5{\textquoteright} bispyrophosphate, ppGpp, a molecule that signals slow growth and stress response under nutrient limitation in bacteria. We used information obtained from genome-wide expression profiling of the rel(Gsu) deletion mutant to identify putative regulatory sites involved in transcription networks modulated by Rel(Gsu) or ppGpp. Differential gene expression in the rel(Gsu) deletion mutant, as compared to the wild type, was available from two growth conditions, steady state chemostat cultures and stationary phase batch cultures. Hierarchical clustering analysis of these two datasets identified several groups of operons that are likely co-regulated. Using a search for conserved motifs in the upstream regions of these co-regulated operons, we identified sequences similar to Fur- and RpoS-regulated sites. These findings suggest that Fur- and RpoS-dependent gene expression in G. sulfurreducens is affected by Rel(Gsu)-mediated signaling.},
