Electricity generation by direct oxidation of glucose in mediatorless microbial fuel cells
TL;DR: A novel microorganism is reported on, Rhodoferax ferrireducens, that can oxidize glucose to CO2 and quantitatively transfer electrons to graphite electrodes without the need for an electron-shuttling mediator, which results in stable, long-term power production.
