Abstract
A genetically engineered strain of Geobacter sulfurreducens exhibits improved function as a cathode biofilm compared to the wild type strain. The genetically engineered Geobacter sulfurreducens strain is capable of using carbon dioxide as a carbon source and electrical current as an energy source for producing a carbonaceous chemical using a reverse tricarboxylic acid pathway.
