| Notes | Cable bacteria come from the family Desulfobulbaceae, but have not yet been identified as to genus and species. The name “cable bacteria” comes from their tendency to form long networks of filaments. The length of the filaments allows cable bacteria to tap into energy harvested from sulfide oxidation. This article gives a protocol for extracting cable bacteria from natural sediment, inoculate cultivated sediment in the laboratory, and evaluate the quantity of cable bacteria in the cultivated sediment. Techniques for collection and extraction are described in detail. |
