Historically, appreciation for the roles of resource gradients in biology has fluctuated
inversely to the popularity of genetic mechanisms. Nevertheless, in microbiology specifically …

Many microorganisms live in the form of a biofilm. Although they are feared in the medical
sector, biofilms that are composed of non-pathogenic organisms can be highly beneficial in …

The extracellular electron transfer (EET) efficiency in bioelectrochemical systems has been
proven to be dependent on anode potentials. To explore the underlying mechanism …

Electricity generation by Geobacter sulfurreducens biofilms grown on electrodes involves
matrix-associated electron carriers, such as c-type cytochromes. Yet, the contribution of the …

Sustained current generation by anodic biofilms is a key element for the longevity and
success of bioelectrochemical systems. Over time, however, inactive or dead cells can …

Metal-reducing bacteria direct electrons to their outer surfaces, where insoluble metal oxides
or electrodes act as terminal electron acceptors, generating electrical current from anaerobic …

Dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria, such as Geobacter sulfurreducens, transfer electrons
beyond their outer membranes to Fe (III) and Mn (IV) oxides, heavy metals, and electrodes in …

Flagella are widely expressed in electroactive biofilms; however, their actual role is
unknown. To understand the role of flagella, two Geobacter sulfurreducens strains (KN400 …

As electrons generated through substrate oxidation compete with electrodes, dissimilatory
nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), denitrification in bioelectrochemical systems in the …

Electroactive biofilm (EAB) has been considered as the core determining electricity
generation in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), and its spatial structure regulation for enhanced …
