The interaction between photosynthetic microorganisms and an inert electrode material was examined. Cathodic polarization values of platinum-bearing marine algae were obtained over a wide current-density range under both illumination and dark conditions. A potential shift of 0.6 v in the cathodic direction occurred upon illumination at a current density of 4.3 mua/cm(2). Similar photo-induced results, involving anodic polarization, were obtained by use of resting cells of Rhodospirillum rubrum supplemented with malate. Appropriate combinations of such bioelectrodes were used to assemble an electrochemical cell capable of light-dependent production of electrical energy.
研究了光合微生物与惰性电极材料之间的相互作用。在光照和黑暗条件下，在很宽的电流密度范围内获得了含铂海藻的阴极极化值。在电流密度为4.3 μA/cm²时光照下，阴极方向发生了0.6 V的电位偏移。通过使用添加了苹果酸的深红红螺菌静息细胞，获得了涉及阳极极化的类似光诱导结果。使用这种生物电极的适当组合来组装一个能够光依赖产生电能的电化学电池。
