Electrochemical Characterization of a Single Electricity‐Producing Bacterial Cell of Shewanella by Using Optical Tweezers

Only connect: Members of genus Shewanella are Gram-negative bacteria that can utilize solid-state metal oxide as a terminal electron acceptor for respiration. The direct electrical connection between a single cell and a microelectrode is characterized by an optical tweezers technique (see picture; ITO=indium tin oxide).
