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 ...

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.

Cyclic Voltammetry is Invasive on Microbial Electrosynthesis [PDF]
ChemElectroChem, 2021 AbstractCyclic voltammetry (CV) is expected to cause changes in the biocathode composition, especially when using low scan rates. A recent finding stated that CV triggered further biocatalytic activity in microbial electrosynthesis systems (MES), leading to the aim of our study: to investigate the invasiveness of CV on MES.

Microbial electrosynthesis from CO2: forever a promise?
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2020 Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is an electrochemical process used to drive microbial metabolism for bio-production, such as the reduction of CO2 into industrially relevant organic products as an alternative to current fossil-fuel-derived commodities.

Microbial Electrosynthesis of Acetate Powered by Intermittent Electricity
Environmental Science & Technology, 2022 Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) of acetate is a process using electrical energy to reduce CO2 to acetic acid in an integrated bioelectrochemical system. MES powered by excess renewable electricity produces carbon-neutral acetate while benefitting from inexpensive but intermittent energy sources.

Metabolic and practical considerations on microbial electrosynthesis
Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2011 The production of biofuels and biochemicals is highly electron intensive. To divert fermentative and respiratory pathways to the product of interest, additional electrons (i.e. reducing power) are often needed. Meanwhile, the past decade has seen the breakthrough of sustainable electricity sources such as solar and wind. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES)

Energetic constraints of metal-reducing bacteria as biocatalysts for microbial electrosynthesis [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and BioproductsBackground As outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we need to approach global net zero CO2 emissions by approximately 2050 to prevent warming beyond 1.5 °C and the associated environmental tipping points.
