| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted a multifaceted analysis of "extracellular proton efflux", which we found as a key factor in the fast drive of fermentation metabolism on electrodes by the electrophilic bacterium Shewanella. We clarified the mechanism and achieved control of the electron transfer rate. In addition, we have realized a fast metabolic reaction by electrodes in a model bacteria of bioprocess (Escherichia coli). Our achievement provide a novel strategy to speed up the production of microbial substances and materials such as drugs and bioplastics.
