First air-tolerant effective stainless steel microbial anode obtained from a natural marine biofilm [PDF]

, 2009
Microbial anodes were constructed with stainless steel electrodes under constant polarisation. The seawater medium was inoculated with a natural biofilm scraped from harbour equipment.

Application of electro-active biofilms [PDF]

, 2010
The concept of an electro-active biofilm (EAB) has recently emerged from a few studies that discovered that certain bacteria which form biofilms on conductive materials can achieve a direct electrochemical connection with the electrode surface using it ...

Effect of model methanogens on the electrochemical activity, stability, and microbial community structure of Geobacter spp. dominated biofilm anodes

npj Biofilms and Microbiomes
Combining anaerobic digestion (AD) and microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) in AD-MET holds great potential. Methanogens have been identified as one cause of decreased electrochemical activity and deterioration of Geobacter spp. biofilm anodes. A

Constraint-based modeling of carbon fixation and the energetics of electron transfer in Geobacter metallireducens.

PLoS Computational Biology, 2014
Geobacter species are of great interest for environmental and biotechnology applications as they can carry out direct electron transfer to insoluble metals or other microorganisms and have the ability to assimilate inorganic carbon.
