Bioelectrochemical systems use microbes as catalysts for current production or consumption. Up to now only a few microbes have been demonstrated to be capable of both outward and inward extracellular electron transfer (EET) (i.e. bidirectional electron transfer). However, the mechanisms of electron exchange between microbes and extracellular solids remain uncertain. Here, we showed thatAlcaligenes faecaliscatalyzed an outward EET and generated electricity at a poised potential of +0.3 V vs. SHE, whereas it conducted an inward EET for autotrophic denitrification at −0.5 V vs. SHE. Both cyclic voltammetry and in situ electrochemical FTIR spectroscopy revealed that different redox components were utilized during the outward and inward EET. Electron transport inhibitor experiments indicated for the first time that complex I, II, III, and the quinone pool on the plasma membrane were involved in the bidirectional EET. Comparative proteomics showed that the protein expression profile of outward-EET biofilms differed greatly from those of inward-EET biofilms, implying that the pili and outer membrane proteins might be responsible for the interfacial outward and inward EET, respectively. These results suggest different electron transport conduits ofA. faecalisbiofilms could be used for bidirectional EET.
