An Electro–Microbial Process to Uncouple Food Production from Photosynthesis for Application in Space Exploration

Life, 2022
Here we propose the concept of an electro–microbial route to uncouple food production from photosynthesis, thereby enabling production of nutritious food in space without the need to grow plant-based crops.
