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).
