Hydrophilicity boosted extracellular electron transfer in Shewanella loihica PV-4

Abstract

A superhydrophilic electrode enables the drastically boosted bacterial EET activity of<italic>Shewanella loihica</italic>PV-4. It is proposed that a hydrophilic electrode favors the reduced state of OMCs, and consequently both the EET activity and cell proliferation are highly facilitated.
