Transcriptional Regulation of Shewanella oneidensis Using Native TMAO-Inducible Promoters in a Plasmid-Free System
… the process of extracellular electron transport (EET), in which cells transfer intracellular electrons to an extracellular terminal electron acceptor. The ability of S. oneidensis MR-1 to perform EET also enables it to respire an electrode, which has led to interest in its use for biotechnological …

Optimizing electrogenic activity from photosynthetic bacteria in bioelectrochemical systems
… comparison of photosynthetic efficiency to EET in Synechocystis. Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) was investigated as a limiting factor in biophotovoltaic efficiency and was found to be reduced in the PBS antenna-truncated mutants. Fluorescence and electrochemical data were combined to …
