  1. Figure S1 Amino acid sequence alignment of pilin domain proteins (GSU1496 (PilA) and GSU1776 (OxpG)) from G. sulfurreducens and pilins and pseudopilins from other bacteria. Amino acid sequence alignments were first generated using the Clustal X (1.8) program and manually optimized using the SeAl v. 2.0a11 Carbon program (University of Oxford). The alignment containsthe conserved amino-terminal domain of pilins and pseudopilins and was used to infer the phylogenetic tree shown in Fig. 1c. Different amino acid residues were assigned to one of a number of groups (by chemical similarity) and each group was assigned a colour.

The levels of soluble Fe(II), produced as a result of the reduction and growth on Fe(III) oxides, were measured after 3 weeks of incubation with the insoluble electron acceptor.

(c) Pili filaments that have been mechanically sheared off the outer surface of the wild-type strain of G. sulfurreducens. The wild-type pili preparations were analyzed by conducting-probe AFM (Fig. 4) in order to study the electroconductive properties of G. sulfurreducens pili.
