Periodic polarization can improve the performance of anodic electroactive biofilms (EABs).
The impact of the half-period duration was previously investigated at constant duty cycle …

Anodic electroactive biofilms (EABs) need to overcome low current densities for applications
such as microbial fuel cells or biosensors. EABs can store charge in self-produced redox …

Intermittent anode potential regimes have been used to increase the concentration of charge
carriers in electro-active biofilms (EABfs). Even though this increased number of carriers is …

Electrochemical gradients are the backbone of basic cellular functions, including chemo-
osmotic transport and ATP synthesis. Microbial growth, terminal respiratory proteins and …

Electro-active bacteria (EAB) can form biofilms on an anode (so-called bioanodes), and use
the electrode as electron acceptor for oxidation of organics in wastewater. So far, bioanodes …
