---|---|---|
DHNA | ||
0.2 μg/mL | 15.86 ± 2.82 | 792 |
20 μg/mL | 70.36 ± 1.55 | 14.4 |
Riboflavin | ||
0.2 μg/mL | 24.32 ± 0.22 | 3,096 |
2 μg/mL | 45.02 ± 1.80 | 2,988 |

L. plantarum was grown in microaerobic 3-chamber bioelectrochemical reactors for 3 h on an electrode poised at 0.2 V versus Ag/AgCl (3 M KCl) before the indicated concentration of riboflavin or DHNA was injected. Current density measurements were taken every 36 s for 24 h. Half-time was determined as 1/2 the time at which maximum current was achieved. Data are representative of 3 bioreactors.
