Electrical tension-triggered conversion of anaerobic to aerobic respiration of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 cells while promoting biofilm growth in microbial fuel cells†
Abstract
A global gene expression analysis of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 cells nearby a nanostructured microbial anode reveals an electrical tension-triggered conversion of anaerobic respiration to aerobic respiration with increased excretion of flavin electron shuttles and cytochrome C proteins, which sheds light on the role of electric tension in cell organisms.
