Electroactive microorganisms markedly affect many environments in which they establish
outer-surface electrical contacts with other cells and minerals or reduce soluble extracellular …

Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) is a phenomenon of increasing concern that
affects various materials and sectors of society. MIC describes the effects, often negative …

Recycling CO 2 into organic products through microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is attractive
from the perspective of circular bioeconomy. However, several challenges need to be …

The study of electrically conductive protein nanowires in Geobacter sulfurreducens has led
to new concepts for long-range extracellular electron transport, as well as for the …

Anaerobic digestion was one of the first bioenergy strategies developed, yet the interactions
of the microbial community that is responsible for the production of methane are still poorly …

Electrochemically active bacteria can transport their metabolically generated electrons to
anodes, or accept electrons from cathodes to synthesize high‐value chemicals and fuels, via …

Biomethane as a sustainable, alternative, and carbon-neutral renewable energy source to
fossil fuels is highly needed to alleviate the global energy crisis and climate change. The …

Bioelectrochemical conversion of CO 2 to CH 4 is a promising way to increase the calorific
value of biogas produced during anaerobic digestion. There are two groups of methanogens …

Electrically conductive pili from Geobacter species, termed bacterial nanowires, are
intensely studied for their biological significance and potential in the development of new …

Electrotrophy, the growth of microbes on extracellular electron donors, drives important
biogeochemical cycles and has practical applications. Studies of Fe (II)-based electrotrophy …
