Abstract
We report a laminar flow-based microfluidic bioelectrochemical system (BES) that was fabricated by using polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) channels and gold electrodes. The microfluidic BES was operated as a potentiostatically controlled two-electrode system. A pure culture of Geobacter sulfurreducens strain PCA, which is a model electrode-respiring bacterium, was grown in the channel and respired with the electrode under strict anaerobic conditions. We took advantage of the short hydraulic retention time (≈ 2 min) and response times (
