The recent concept of microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has evolved as an electricity-driven production technology for chemicals from low-value carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) using micro-organisms as biocatalysts. MES from CO 2 comprises bioelectrochemical reduction of CO 2 to multi-carbon organic compounds...
