Abstract
Microbial electrosynthesis is a process that can produce biocommodities from the reduction of substrates with microbial catalysts and an external electron supply. This process is expected to become a new application of a cell factory for novel chemical production, wastewater treatment, and carbon capture and utilization. However, microbial electrosynthesis is still subject to several problems that need to be overcome for commercialization, so continuous development such as metabolic engineering is essential. The development of microbial electrosynthesis can open up new opportunities for sustainable biocommodities production platforms. This review provides significant information on the current state of MES development, focusing on extracellularly electron transfer and metabolic engineering.
