Energy Efficiency and Productivity Enhancement of Microbial Electrosynthesis of Acetate [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 It was hypothesized that a lack of acetogenic biomass (biocatalyst) at the cathode of a microbial electrosynthesis system, due to electron and nutrient limitations, has prevented further improvement in acetate productivity and efficiency.

Cathodic biofilms – A prerequisite for microbial electrosynthesis
Bioresource Technology, 2022 Cathodic biofilms have an important role in CO2 bio-reduction to carboxylic acids and biofuels in microbial electrosynthesis (MES) cells. However, robust and resilient electroactive biofilms for an efficient CO2 conversion are difficult to achieve. In this review, the fundamentals of cathodic biofilm formation, including energy conservation, electron ...

Microbial electrosynthesis: opportunities for microbial pure cultures.
Trends BiotechnolMicrobial electrosynthesis (MES) is an emerging technology that couples renewable electricity to microbial production processes. Although advances in MES performance have been driven largely by microbial mixed cultures, we see a great limitation in the diversity, and hence value, of products that can be achieved in undefined mixed cultures. By contrast,
