The microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has attracted significant attention in the last years
due to its potential to recover energy in a wastewater treatment. The idea of using an MFC in …

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

Different conductive materials have been employed to stimulate direct interspecies electron
transfer (DIET) during methanogenesis, but few studies have been concerned with the …

Geobacter species specialize in making electrical contacts with extracellular electron
acceptors and other organisms. This permits Geobacter species to fill important niches in a …

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 …

Abstract Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) has gained great interest as an alternative green
technology for bioenergy generation along with reduced sludge production, nutrient …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Future solar-to-chemical production will rely upon a deep understanding of the material–
microorganism interface. Hybrid technologies, which combine inorganic semiconductor light …
