Project description:We investigated the impacts of transition metal oxide (TMO) lithium-ion battery cathode nanomaterial, lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), on gene expression in the larvae of a model sediment invertebrate Chironomus riparius.
Project description:This project focust on proteogenomic characterization of a robust low complexity biocathode community which was enriched from, and cultivated on, the cathode of a microbial solar cell (MSC). This consortium forms a multi-cell layer thick biofilm on the poised electrode surface (+310 mV SHE) and can directly use electrical current as an electron donor to fix CO2 and reduce O2.
