Electromicrobiology deals with the interactions between microorganisms and electronic
devices and with the novel electrical properties of microorganisms. A diversity of …

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES), typically microbial fuel cells (MFCs), have attracted
increasing attention in the past decade due to their promising applications in many fields …

The discovery that Geobacter sulfurreducens can produce protein filaments with metallic‐
like conductivity, known as microbial nanowires, that facilitate long‐range electron transport …

Microbes have been shown to naturally form veritable electric grids in which different
species acting as electron donors and others acting as electron acceptors cooperate. The …

An extension of the respiratory chain to the cell surface is necessary to reduce extracellular
electron acceptors like ferric iron or manganese oxides. In the past few years, more and …

Geobacter spp. can acquire energy by coupling intracellular oxidation of organic matter with
extracellular electron transfer to an anode (an electrode poised at a metabolically oxidizing …

This review examines the electrochemical techniques used to study extracellular electron
transfer in the electrochemically active biofilms that are used in microbial fuel cells and other …

Geobacter spp. can form a biofilm that is more than 20 μm thick on an anode surface by
utilizing the anode as a terminal respiratory electron acceptor. Just how microbes transport …

Two competing models for long-range electron transport through the conductive biofilms and
nanowires of Geobacter sulfurreducens exist. In one model electrons are transported via pili …

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) have been explored according to three main concepts: to
produce energy from organic substrates, to generate products and to provide specific …
