Aerobic mild bioelectrocatalysis: Disentangling dual redox pathways for H2 evolution amidst competing oxygen reduction in S. cerevisiae biofilm
Microbial H2 production is traditionally restricted by the oxygen sensitivity of hydrogenase enzymes, limiting their effective use to anaerobic environments. In this study, we demonstrate that S. cerevisiae, lacking conventional hydrogenases, exhibits an exceptional ability for H2 evolution in oxygen-rich conditions. At pH 7.2 and 25 °C, S. cerevisiae biofilms catalyze hydrogen production with a near-zero overpotential (40 mV), made possible by a redox-active extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix enriched with flavoproteins. We highlight the potential of S. cerevisiae as an oxygen-resistant biocatalyst for sustainable biohydrogen production and discuss its application in ambient-condition bioelectrochemical systems.
期刊介绍:
An International Journal Devoted to Electrochemical Aspects of Biology and Biological Aspects of Electrochemistry
Bioelectrochemistry is an international journal devoted to electrochemical principles in biology and biological aspects of electrochemistry. It publishes experimental and theoretical papers dealing with the electrochemical aspects of:
• Electrified interfaces (electric double layers, adsorption, electron transfer, protein electrochemistry, basic principles of biosensors, biosensor interfaces and bio-nanosensor design and construction.
• Electric and magnetic field effects (field-dependent processes, field interactions with molecules, intramolecular field effects, sensory systems for electric and magnetic fields, molecular and cellular mechanisms)
• Bioenergetics and signal transduction (energy conversion, photosynthetic and visual membranes)
• Biomembranes and model membranes (thermodynamics and mechanics, membrane transport, electroporation, fusion and insertion)
• Electrochemical applications in medicine and biotechnology (drug delivery and gene transfer to cells and tissues, iontophoresis, skin electroporation, injury and repair).
• Organization and use of arrays in-vitro and in-vivo, including as part of feedback control.
• Electrochemical interrogation of biofilms as generated by microorganisms and tissue reaction associated with medical implants.
