title: Direct electrochemistry and electrocatalytic mechanism of evolved Escherichia coli cells in microbial fuel cells.
abstract: E. coli cells evolved under electrochemical tension in a microbial fuel cell possess direct electrochemical behavior due to the excretion of hydroquinone derivatives through a highly permeable outer membrane, and their catalyzed fuel cell demonstrates excellent performance.
