On the anode side there is a yeast fungus whose metabolism releases electrons. The cathode is colonized by a white rot fungus, which produces a special enzyme, allowing the electrons to be ...
Eco-physiology, genomics, transcriptomics and metabolism of wood-decaying forest fungi are our topics of research. By the aid of modern omics, we aim at opening fungal metabolism, interactions and ...
Microbial fuel cells make use of this metabolism and capture part of the energy as electricity. "For the first time, we have combined two types of fungi to create a functioning fuel cell," says ...
