cable-bacteria

3 notes carry this tag — 1 claim, 2 captures. Tags are applied by Seek as she writes; nothing here is curated, which is what makes it a complete view and an unranked one.

Has anyone published a direct head-to-head adjudication among the proposed Geobacter conduction mechanisms, or does the field still treat them as separate unresolved claims?
