Title

Structural changes in photosynthetic bacteria on electrode surfaces during different stages of the electron transfer mechanism.

Abstract

This proposal builds on previous successful neutron reflectometry (NR) experiments studying the structural changes of smaller redox species and proteins at electrode surfaces under electrochemical control. Here, we wish to extend this project to study the structural changes of redox-active cyanobacterial cells adhering to carbon electrode surfaces as they form biofilms under applied potential to better understand this key stage in the creation of bioelectronic devices and the underlying reasons why two bacterial strains behave so differently at this interface.
