Advances in electrochemically active biofilm of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 / 生物工程学报

ABSTRACT

Facing the increasingly severe energy shortage and environmental pollution, electrocatalytic processes using electroactive microorganisms provide a new alternative for achieving environmental-friendly production. Because of its unique respiratory mode and electron transfer ability, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 has been widely used in the fields of microbial fuel cell, bioelectrosynthesis of value-added chemicals, metal waste treatment and environmental remediation system. The electrochemically active biofilm of S. oneidensis MR-1 is an excellent carrier for transferring the electrons of the electroactive microorganisms. The formation of electrochemically active biofilm is a dynamic and complex process, which is affected by many factors, such as electrode materials, culture conditions, strains and their metabolism. The electrochemically active biofilm plays a very important role in enhancing bacterial environmental stress resistance, improving nutrient uptake and electron transfer efficiency. This paper reviewed the formation process, influencing factors and applications of S. oneidensis MR-1 biofilm in bio-energy, bioremediation and biosensing, with the aim to facilitate and expand its further application.
