AbstractLong-distance extracellular electron transfer has been observed in Gram-negative bacteria and plays roles in both natural and engineering processes. The electron transfer can be mediated by conductive protein appendages (in short unicellular bacteria such as Geobacter species) or by conductive cell envelopes (in filamentous multicellular cable bacteria). Here we show that Lysinibacillus varians GY32, a filamentous unicellular Gram-positive bacterium, is capable of bidirectional extracellular electron transfer. In microbial fuel cells, L. varians can form centimetre-range conductive cellular networks and, when grown on graphite electrodes, the cells can reach a remarkable length of 1.08 mm. Atomic force microscopy and microelectrode analyses suggest that the conductivity is linked to pili-like protein appendages. Our results show that long-distance electron transfer is not limited to Gram-negative bacteria.

A novel 1,5-disproportionation reaction has been discovered for 1,4-hydroxy biradicals derived from the photolysis of 9-methylbicyclo[3.3.1]nonyl phenyl ketones (1), which undergo mainly Yang cyclization both in solution and the solid state. By applying the solid-state ionic chiral auxiliary method of asymmetric synthesis to the Yang cyclization, enantiomeric excesses as high as 95% were achieved at high reaction conversions. The origin of the reaction selectivity is discussed with the help of X-ray crystallography. In addition, the solid-state photoreaction of ketone 1b was found to occur in a single crystal-to-single crystal fashion.Key words: photochemistry, 1,4-hydroxy biradical, disproportionation, asymmetric induction, ionic chiral auxiliary, single crystal-to-single crystal reaction.
