In this study, we examine cable bacteria metabolic activity and growth dynamics using the functional expression of net electrogenic activity revealed by pH patterns, inferred reaction rate distributions, and filamentous cell abundance. We demonstrate in experimental microcosms, the potential for substantial cable bacteria activity in Mn- and Fe-depleted carbonate muds from Florida Bay, USA, and document their biogeochemical impacts in the near absence of Mn and Fe.
