Investigating extracellular electron transfer of Rikenella microfusus: a recurring bacterium in mixed-species biofilms

The optimization of bioelectrochemical systems operating with microorganisms requires a deep understanding of the extracellular electron transfer (EET) processes, however, EET studies have been reported for few bacterial species. Herein, the bioelectrocatalytic properties of Rikenella microfusus , a...

Summary:The optimization of bioelectrochemical systems operating with microorganisms requires a deep understanding of the extracellular electron transfer (EET) processes, however, EET studies have been reported for few bacterial species. Herein, the bioelectrocatalytic properties of Rikenella microfusus , an anaerobic bacterium commonly found in electrode-colonizing biofilms, have been investigated for the first time.
