title: A hybrid biocathode: surface display of O2-reducing enzymes for microbial fuel cell applications.
abstract: Laccase and bilirubin oxidase were successfully displayed on the surface of yeast cells. Subsequently, these modified yeast cells were used in the cathode compartment of a microbial fuel cell. The performance of the fuel cells is compared.
