Editorial: Perspectives in General Physiology

In this issue of The Journal of General Physiology we begin a new initiative: Perspectives in General Physiology. The purpose of these Perspectives is to provide a forum where scientific uncertainties or controversies can be discussed in an authoritative yet open manner. The Perspectives will be solicited by the editors—often based on recommendations by the advisory editors or members of the ed...

In its simplest form, bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) consist of an anode, a cathode, and a microbial catalyst (Rabaey and Rozendal, 2010). One of the attractive features of bioelectrochemical technology is that, BESs can be developed to implement anodic-based or cathodic-based bioprocesses or both at the same time. For example, pollutants can be degraded by a specialized microbial catalyst a...
