The ability of certain microorganisms to live in a multi-cell thick, electrode-grown biofilm by utilizing the electrode as a metabolic electron acceptor or donor requires electron transfer across cell membranes, through the biofilm, and across the biofilm/electrode interface. Even for the most studi...
