On the use of cyclic voltammetry for the study of anodic electron transfer in microbial fuel cells

In this communication we discuss, by means of the metal reducing bacterium Geobacter sulfurreducens, a strategy to use cyclic voltammetry for the study of anodic bioelectrocatalytic electron transfer in microbial fuel cells.
