Abstract
To improve the electron transfer between the microbe and electrode surface, the bottleneck in existing microbial technologies, by engineering microbes capable of biopolymerizing their own inter-and intra-cellular conductive network. The polymer biosynthesis is designed to enhance electrode adhesion and charge extraction, enabling the engineered microbes to, in this sense, biosynthesize their own electrodes.
