Our project sought to combine the detecting capabilities of bacteria with the speed and ubiquity of electricity by creating an inducible system in Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 with an electrical output, allowing for the direct integration of this biosensor with electrical circuits via microbial fuel cells.
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 is a metabolically versatile, and genetically tractable, gram-negative facultative anaerobe which under anaerobic conditions reduces a number of electron acceptors. This ability can be harnessed by microbial fuel cells to produce an electric current.
