From the Back Cover

This book offers a comprehensive introduction to electron-based bioscience, biotechnology, and biocorrosion. It both explains the importance of electron flow during metabolic processes in microorganisms and provides valuable insights into emerging applications in various fields. In the opening section, readers will find up-to-date information on topics such as electron transfer reactions, extracellular electron transfer mechanisms, direct interspecies electron transfer, and electron uptake by sulfate-reducing bacteria. The focus then shifts to state-of-the-art advances and applications in the field of biotechnology. Here, the coverage encompasses e.g. progress in understanding electrochemical interactions between microorganisms and conductive particles, enzymatic reactions and their application in the bioproduction of useful chemicals, and the importance of redox balance for fatty acid production. In closing, the book addresses various aspects of the complex phenomenon of microbiologically induced corrosion, highlighting novel insights from the fields of electromicrobiology and electrochemistry and their implications.


Masaharu Ishi, Ph.D., is a Professor at the Laboratory of Applied Microbiology, Department of Biotechnology, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, University of Tokyo. Holding a Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo, his work focuses on the energy and carbon metabolisms in various microorganisms with special emphasis on hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria (Hydrogenobacter thermophilus and Hydrogenophius thermoluteolus).

Satoshi Wakai, Ph.D., is a Scientist at the Institute for Extra-cutting-edge Science and Technology Avant-garde Research (X-star), Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), Yokosuka, Japan, and a Guest Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Kobe University, Japan. He holds a Ph.D. from Okayama University and is currently an associate editor for Microbes and Environments (an open access journal on microbial ecology). His work focuses on the development of diagnostic technologies and molecular mechanisms in microbiologically influenced corrosion, energy conversion of extremophiles, and metabolic engineering for the microbiological production of useful chemicals.
