Response to starvation and microbial community composition in microbial fuel cells enriched on different electron donors.
TL;DR: The microbial communities in acetate‐ and glucose‐fed MFCs were analysed and their responses to 10 days starvation periods and showed different responses to starvation.
Spatial-type skeleton induced Geobacter enrichment and tailored bio-capacitance of electroactive bioanode for efficient electron transfer in microbial fuel cells
TL;DR: In this paper , a spatial electroactive biofilm is successfully developed on the carbonaceous skeleton derived from phenolic foam, which highly improved the bio-capacitance and Geobacter abundance of bioanode.

Extracellular electron transfer via microbial nanowires.
Gemma Reguera,Kevin D. McCarthy,Teena Mehta,Julie S. Nicoll,Mark T. Tuominen,Derek R. Lovley +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the pili of G. sulfurreducens might serve as biological nanowires, transferring electrons from the cell surface to the surface of Fe(iii) oxides, indicating possibilities for other unique cell-surface and cell–cell interactions, and for bioengineering of novel conductive materials.
