Abstract

Abstract : Coating individual bacterial cells with in situ formed polypyrrole is described by J. S. C. Loo, B. Cao, J. R. Zhang, J.‐J. Zhu et al. in their Communication onpage 10516 ff. The coated polypyrrole can serve as a conductive medium as well as a protecting layer. Enhanced direct contact‐based extracellular electron transfer and improved viability of bacterial cells are observed when polypyrrole‐coated exoelectrogenic bacteria are employed as an anode in microbial fuel cells.
