Enhancing Microbial Electron Transfer through Synthetic Biology and Biohybrid Approaches: Part I: Bioelectrochemistry for sustainable energy conversion (2022)
Journal Article
Myers, B., Hill, P., Rawson, F., & Kovacs, K. (2022). Enhancing Microbial Electron Transfer through Synthetic Biology and Biohybrid Approaches: Part I: Bioelectrochemistry for sustainable energy conversion. Johnson Matthey Technology Review, 66(4), 443-454. https://doi.org/10.1595/205651322X16548607638938

Traditional microbial synthesis of chemicals and fuels often rely on energy-rich feedstocks such as glucose, raising ethical concerns as they are directly competing with the food supply. Therefore, it is imperative to develop novel processes that rel...
