Homework #3

Electroactive Bacteria
Bacteria obtain electrons for respiratory metabolism from a vast range of sources and, likewise, deliver these electrons to an equally impressive array of acceptor molecules. A growing list of bacteria have been found to be electrogenic, that is, capable of reducing external solid electron acceptors. Exoelectrogenic microbes convert organic matter into electrical current by transferring electrons gained through metabolism to the anode of bioelectrochemical systems
(BESs).
