Electrical tension-triggered conversion of anaerobic to aerobic respiration of Shewanella putrefaciens CN32 cells while promoting biofilm growth in microbial fuel cells

A global gene expression analysis of S. putrefaciens CN32 cells within the diffusion layer of the microbial fuel cell anode with surface controlled reaction reveals an electrical tension-triggered conversion of anaerobic to aerobic respiration, which represents the nature of the biofilm.
