Background Microbial electrosynthesis is a novel approach that aims at shifting the cellular
metabolism towards electron-dense target products by extracellular electron supply. Many …

Although microbes directly accepting electrons from a cathode have been applied for CO2
reduction to produce multicarbon-compounds, a high electron demand and low product …

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 …

Abstract Anodic electro-fermentation (AEF), where an anode replaces the terminal electron
acceptor, shows great promise. Recently a Lactococcus lactis strain blocked in NAD+ …

Microbial electrosynthesis enables the production of value-added chemicals from CO 2 and
electrons provided by an electrode. Clostridium ljungdahlii is an electroactive acetogen that …

Electro-fermentation (EF) is an upcoming technology that can control the metabolism of
exoelectrogenic bacteria (ie, bacteria that transfer electrons using an extracellular …

Microbial electrosynthesis, an artificial form of photosynthesis, can efficiently convert carbon
dioxide into organic commodities; however, this process has only previously been …

Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is a very promising technology addressing the challenge of
carbon dioxide recycling into organic compounds, which might serve as building blocks for …

This manuscript describes the effect of altering the extracellular redox potential during the
production of acetone, butanol, and ethanol on a dual chamber H-type microbial fuel cell by …

Acetogenic bacteria (ie, acetogens) produce acetate from CO 2 during anaerobic
chemoautotrophic growth. Because acetogens fix CO 2 with high energy efficiency, they …
