The discovery of electrotrophs, microorganisms that can directly accept electrons from
electrodes for the reduction of terminal electron acceptors, has spurred the investigation of a …

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 …

Extracellular electron transfer has, in one decade, emerged from an environmental
phenomenon to an industrial process driver. On the one hand, electron transfer towards …

All organisms require an electron donor and acceptor, frequently in chemical form, but an
elegant alternative is to supply these via direct electrochemical means. Electricity has been …

Here, we reviewed five different approaches that integrate photosynthesis with microbial fuel
cells (MFCs)—photoMFCs. Until now, no conclusive report has been published that …

Perceived applications of microbe-electrode interactions are shifting from production of
electric power to other technologies, some of which even consume current. Electrodes can …

The possibility of providing the acetogenic microorganism Sporomusa ovata with electrons
delivered directly to the cells with a graphite electrode for the reduction of carbon dioxide to …

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 …

Electromicrobiology is an emerging field investigating and exploiting the interaction of
microorganisms with insoluble electron donors or acceptors. Some of the most recently …

Electron transfer between microorganisms and an electrode—even across long distances—
enables the former to live by coupling to an electronic circuit. Such a system integrates …
