Order-of-magnitude enhancement in photocurrent generation of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 by outer membrane deprivation

The low extracellular electron transfer activity hampers the application of cyanobacteria in biophotovoltaics. Here, the authors report an order-of-magnitude enhancement in photocurrent generation of the cyanobacterium by deprivation of the outer cell membrane.
