BioSmart Fact File 146.2 orbitbiotech orbitbiosmart In microbial bioelectrochemical systems (BES) a range of materials and microbes are selected on the basis of their ability to exchange electrons. However, the relatively low current densities, and long start-up times, for such systems to date points to a requirement for a more efficient connection of microorganisms, as biocatalyst, to electrode surfaces, in order to progress to exploitation of microbial BES technology. Deliberate, controlled modification of electrode surfaces provides a route to probe, and further understand electron exchange mechanisms between bacteria and electrode and may lead to enhanced performance of BES for practical applications.
