摘要: There is increasing interest in extracellular electron transfer (EET) from organisms to receptors, particularly in anaerobic biofilms at mineral surfaces. Less attention has been given to EET by planktonic organisms in oxic environments where extracellular electron generation and transport might be expected to be of limited consequence. In this study, the EET activity of the photosynthetic marine raphidophyte, Chattonella marina, was examined using a mediatorless photosynthetic microbial fuel cell with results showing positive light response. Electron output by organisms present in cell suspension was substantially higher than those present in biofilms at the electrode surface. Indeed, current generation under light illumination of the C. marina suspension continued even when contact between the organisms and the electrodes was prevented by dialysis membrane, suggesting that soluble electron carriers secreted by C. marina were facilitating the EET process. Cyclic voltammetry measurements of the cell-free exudate showed redox peaks in the range of 0.1-0.5 V (vs Ag/AgCl), confirming that redox active species were present in the cell suspension. Facilitation of electron transfer from the planktonic organism to the anode by endogenous redox-active exudates appears to be critical to current generation. The ability of these exudates to remain in their reduced state in the presence of oxygen is possibly a function of the spin-restricted nature of oxygen-mediated exudate oxidation. Quantification of the EET processes operating in this planktonic system assists in understanding the means and extent to which C. marina induces redox transformations in the external medium with these transformations presumably of benefit to the survival of this organism, potentially including facilitation of iron uptake and induction of toxicity to other organisms.
