Strategies to enhance extracellular electron transfer rates in wild-type cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 for photo-bioelectricity generation
… utilised for photo-bioelectricity generation in biophotovoltaics (electrochemical cell). An initial cross comparison of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 against other exoelectrogenic cultures showed a hindered exoelectrogenic capacity. Nonetheless, in mediatorless …

Enhancing the functionality of photovoltaic and photonic biointerfaces through structuration
… tools to study disordered optical systems. Biophotovoltaics (BPV) is a newly described biophysical effect in which a biofilm of photosynthetic microorganisms associated with an anode produces electrical current that can be harvested and passed through an external circuit. In this …

Soft matter engineering for cellular bioelectronic interfaces
… of renewable power-generation devices, known as biophotovoltaics (BPV). However, the efficiency of such devices is too low to translate into practical applications. With an aim to enhance BPV photocurrents through increased electron availability, podDE-FACS was developed to systematically …

Time series analysis and machine learning studies of biophotovoltaic systems
Background. Biophotovoltaics (BPVs) catalysed by photoautotrophs such as cyanobacteria have increasingly gained interest due to their potential to generate low-carbon electricity and chemicals from just sunlight, air and water. The full path of electrons from cyanobacteria photosynthetic and …

Advances in biophysical characterisation through micron scale flow engineering
Proteins are the chief actor molecules of cells central to the majority of biochemical and biophysical processes that sustain life. Interactions between proteins and other biomolecules are crucial to a faultless execution of biological function, yet it has remained challenging to analyse these …
