<p>In the original article, we did not notice the newest publication of Lovley group (Holmes et al. paper) when we submitted our manuscript, which previously demonstrated that the electrically conductive pili of <italic>Geobacter</italic> are recently evolved (Holmes et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">2016</xref>). Here, the authors acknowledge the previous contributions of Lovley group and apologize for this oversight.</p>
<p>This error does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.</p>
