Abstract: Abstract Extracellular electron transfer (EET) via microbial nanowires drives globally-important environmental processes and biotechnological applications for bioenergy, bioremediation, and bioelectronics. Due to highly-redundant and complex EET pathways, it is unclear how microbes wire electrons rapidly (>106 s−1) from the inner-membrane through outer-surface nanowires directly to an external environment despite a crowded periplasm and slow (
