Electron carriers increase electricity production in methane microbial fuel cells that reverse methanogenesis

Abstract Background We previously reversed methanogenesis in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) to produce electricity for the first time from methane by combining an engineered archaeal strain that produces methyl-coenzyme M reductase from unculturable anaerobic methanotrophs (to capture methane and secre...
