Membranes can work as an isolator for the cell to prevent the transfer of charged molecules. So it is necessary to change the
 
-
membrane in a way that it can transfer the electrons without causing its collapse. The integration of cytochromes into the
 
-
membrane can help achieving a defined electron transport. A minimal set of cytochromes, consisting of the periplasmatic cytochrome MtrA, the outer membrane cytochrome MtrC and the outer membrane ß-barrel protein MtrB from ''Shewanella oneidensis'' MR-15 should be expressed in ''E. coli''.

Mediators

Of great interest is the production of endogenous mediators. The overexpression of glyceroldehydrogenase in ''E. coli'' is a promising approach. Because many derivates of glyceroldehydrogenase are small, water-soluble redoxmolecules, they have the properties of a mediator. Futhermore, it will be tested, if there is a possibility of expressing the mediator phenazin. Phenazin is an endogenous mediator of ''Pseudomonas'' species.
