Proteins: are essential nutrients for the human body. They are one of the building blocks of body tissue and can also serve as a fuel source. As a fuel, proteins provide as much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9 kcal per gram.
Some bacteria can use an electrode as an electron donor for respiration, generating an electrical current in the process. We are trying to understand a bacterial community that uses electrici...
