ABSTRACT Many bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) harness the ability of electrode‐active microbes to catalyze reactions between electrodes and chemicals, often to perform useful functions such as wastewater treatment, fuel production, and biosensing. A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is one type of BES, wh...
