An electrified future with microbial electrochemical technologies: how to realize the dream?
Keywords microbial electrochemical technologies circular wastewater treatment microbial electrosynthesis bioinspired electronics biosensors research vision Breakthrough applications of electroactive microbes More than 130 years ago, it was hypothesized that microbes could drive extracellular redox reactions for the conservation of energy [1].
Insights into the various mechanisms by which Shewanella spp. induce and inhibit steel corrosion - npj Materials Degradation
Abstract Shewanella species are frequently selected as model strains to investigate microbially influenced steel corrosion. This selection is due to their relevance for corrosion, but also because of their easy cultivation in aerobic media. Unfortunately, these cultivation advantages do not lead to a straight-forward interpretation of their corrosion inducing or inhibiting mechanisms. The metabolic versatility of Shewanellae indeed enables a wide variety of corrosion mechanisms.
A Novel Shewanella Isolate Enhances Corrosion by Using Metallic Iron as the Electron Donor with Fumarate as the Electron Acceptor
ABSTRACTThe involvement of Shewanella spp. in biocorrosion is often attributed to their Fe(III)-reducing properties, but they could also affect corrosion by using metallic iron as an electron donor. Previously, we isolated Shewanella strain 4t3-1-2LB from an acetogenic community enriched with Fe(0) as the sole electron donor. Here, we investigated its use of Fe(0) as an electron donor with fumarate as an electron acceptor and explored its corrosion-enhancing mechanism.
