چکیده
A mediatorless microbial fuel cell based on the direct biocatalysis of Escherichia coli shows significantly enhanced performance by using bacteria electrochemically-evolved in fuel cell environments through a natural selection process and a carbon/PTFE composite anode with an optimized PTFE content.

Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalytic mechanism of evolved Escherichia coli cells in microbial fuel cells.
E. coli cells evolved under electrochemical tension in a microbial fuel cell possess direct electrochemical behavior due to the excretion of hydroquinone derivatives through a highly permeable outer membrane, and their catalyzed fuel cell demonstrates excellent performance.
متن کاملComplete PHB mobilization in Escherichia coli enhances the stress tolerance: a potential biotechnological application
BACKGROUND Poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) mobilization in bacteria has been proposed as a mechanism that can benefit their host for survival under stress conditions. Here we reported for the first time that a stress-induced system enabled E. coli, a non-PHB producer, to mobilize PHB in vivo by mimicking natural PHB accumulation bacteria. RESULTS The successful expression of PHB biosynthesis ...
متن کاملA time-course transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli with direct electrochemistry behavior in microbial fuel cells.
Escherichia coli with direct electron transfer, a direct electrochemistry behavior in electrocatalysis of microbial fuel cells, underwent statistically significant up- and down-regulation of 107 genes, which suggests that the underlying cellular mechanisms include the regulation of outer membrane porin genes and terminal oxidase genes.
متن کاملThe Factors Affecting Biofilm Formation in the Mediatorless Microbial Fuel Cell
The mediatorless microbial fuel cell (MFC) was constructed with Geobacter metallireducens and the factors affecting biofilm formation and structure were studied using sodium acetate as substrate. The process of biofilm formation was clearly observed by SEM. Current in MFC was mainly generated by the bacteria attached on the anode surface. Experiments showed that the adhesion of Geobacter metall...
متن کاملHigh production of ectoine from aspartate and glycerol by use of whole-cell biocatalysis in recombinant Escherichia coli
BACKGROUND Recently, the compatible solute 1, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-4-pyrimidinecarboxylic acid (ectoine) has attracted considerable interest due to its great potential as a protecting agent. To overcome the drawbacks of high salinity in the traditional bioprocess of ectoine using halophilic bacteria, various attempts have been made to engineer ectoine biosynthesis in nonhalophilic bacter...
