Enhancing extracellular electron transfer of Shewanella to improve the performance of microbial fuel cells by Ting, Liu

“…Electroactive biofilms play essential roles in determining the power output of MFCs. To engineer the electroactive biofilm formation of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, a c-di-GMP biosynthesis gene ydeH was heterologously overexpressed in S. oneidensis MR-1, generating an engineered strain in which the expression of ydeH is under the control of IPTG-inducible promoter, and a strain in which ydeH is under the control of a constitutive promoter. …”
