Very short today-- I spent over an hour browsing the second of these two concepts, so rather than attempt to summarize, I'll just send you right there.

(And in case you can't handle .pdf files, here's the most recent press on it:)

Oh, just a note-- on the Geobacter page, some of the in-text links don't work, but all the ones at the bottom of the page do. ^_^
