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
(fondly referred to as Shewie)
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.
