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 ...

Biofilm Formation by Clostridium ljungdahlii Is Induced by Sodium Chloride Stress: Experimental Evaluation and Transcriptome Analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The acetogen Clostridium ljungdahlii is capable of syngas fermentation and microbial electrosynthesis. Biofilm formation could benefit both these applications, but was not yet reported for C. ljungdahlii.

Conversion of Biomass to Chemicals via Electrofermentation of Lactic Acid Bacteria
Energies, 2022 Microbial electrosynthesis is the process of supplying electrons to microorganisms to reduce CO2 and yield industrially relevant products. Such systems are limited by their requirement for high currents, resulting in challenges to cell survival ...

Tailoring strain construction strategies for muconic acid production in S. cerevisiae and E. coli
Metabolic Engineering Communications, 2014 There is currently a strong interest to derive the biological precursor cis,cis-muconic acid from shikimate pathway-branches to develop a biological replacement for adipic acid. Pioneered by the Frost laboratory this concept has regained interest: Recent

Operational and technical considerations for microbial electrosynthesis [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2012 Extracellular electron transfer has, in one decade, emerged from an environmental phenomenon to an industrial process driver. On the one hand, electron transfer towards anodes leads to production of power or chemicals such as hydrogen, caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide.

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.
