Microbial electrochemical techniques describe a variety of emerging technologies that use
electrode–bacteria interactions for biotechnology applications including the production of …

Broad application of microbial fuel cells will require substantial increases in current density.
A better understanding of the microbiology of these systems may help. Recent studies have …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are not yet commercialized but they show great promise as a
method of water treatment and as power sources for environmental sensors. The power …

In nature, different bacteria have evolved strategies to transfer electrons far beyond the cell
surface. This electron transfer enables the use of these bacteria in bioelectrochemical …

Microbial electrochemical technologies provide sustainable wastewater treatment and
energy production. Despite significant improvements in the power output of microbial fuel …

There has been an increase in recent years in the number of reports of microorganisms that
can generate electrical current in microbial fuel cells. Although many new strains have been …

Microbial electrochemistry is the study and application of interactions between living
microbial cells and electrodes (ie electron conductors, capacitive materials). For a long time …

Instead of requiring metal catalysts, MFCs utilize bacteria that oxidize organic matter and
either transfer electrons to the anode or take electrons from the cathode. These devices are …

A vast array of microorganisms from all three domains of life can produce electrical current
and transfer electrons to the anodes of different types of bioelectrochemical systems. These …
