This symposium invites contributions from a wide range of topics relating to the use of whole living organisms in bioelectronics. Microbe electrode interfaces are key to connecting metabolic processes to electronic signals. These lay the foundation for sustainable applications in biosensing, bioremediation, electrosynthesis and energy conversion.
The later also includes solar energy conversion using photosynthetic organisms in biological photovoltaics. The symposium will cover all microbial electronic technologies from a bioengineering, electrode engineering and application focused perspective to highlight recent developments in the field.
