The ability of microbes to accept electrons from an electrode has potential in bioremediation and bioproduction. G. lovleyi and Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans have been shown to reduce chlorinated compounds with as electrode as the sole source of electrons . Field trials have also shown that electrons provide by an electrode can improve uranium removal in contaminated sites . Bioremediation using electrodes as electron donors has several advantages over traditional methods including positive selection of bacterial strains and reduced competition for electron donor . While these process described are all of interest due to applications associated with bioremediation, it has yet to be seen if this process can be used for commercial applications, such as the modification or production of commodity chemicals .
