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 …

The mechanism (s) by which electricity-producing microorganisms interact with an electrode
is poorly understood. Outer membrane cytochromes and conductive pili are being …

Extracellular electron transfer pathways allow certain bacteria to transfer energy between
intracellular chemical energy stores and extracellular solids through redox reactions …

More and more microbes are discovered that are capable of extracellular electron transfer, a
process in which they use external electrodes as electron donors or acceptors for metabolic …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical devices capable of converting chemical
energy to electrical energy using bacteria as the catalysts. Mechanisms of microbial electron …

Environmental protection and energy crisis are two recent challenges to us. Future
economic growth crucially depends on the long-term availability of energy from sources that …

Microbial fuel cells often produce more electrical power with mixed cultures than with pure
cultures. Here, we show that a coculture of a nonexoelectrogen (Escherichia coli) and …

Geobacter sulfurreducens can acquire energy by coupling oxidation of acetate with
extracellular electron transfer to an anode, forming an electrically conductive biofilm …

Redox mediator plays an important role in extracellular electron transfer (EET) in many
environments wherein microbial electrocatalysis occurs actively. Because of the block of cell …

Electroactive bacteria (EAB) are natural microorganisms (mainly Bacteria and Archaea)
living in various habitats (eg, water, soil, sediment), including extreme ones, which can …
