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.

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.
