Disclosed are methods using neutral red to mediate the interconversion of chemical and electrical energy. Electrically reduced neutral red has been found to promote cell growth and formation of reduced products by reversibly increasing the ratio of the reduced:oxidized forms of NAD(H) or NADP(H). Electrically reduced neutral red is able to serve as the sole source of reducing power for microbial cell growth. Neutral red is also able to promote conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy by facilitating the transfer of electrons from microbial reducing power to a fuel cell cathode.

La présente invention concerne des procédés faisant appel au rouge neutre comme médiateur d'interconversion énergie chimique - énergie électrique. Il est apparu que le rouge neutre électriquement réduit favorise la croissance cellulaire et la formation de produits réduits en augmentant de façon réversible le rapport entre formes réduites et oxydées des NAD(H) ou NADP(H). Le rouge neutre électriquement réduit est capable de servir de source unique d'énergie réductrice pour la croissance cellulaire microbienne. Le rouge neutre est également capable de favoriser la conversion en énergie électrique de l'énergie chimique en favorisant le transfert dans une cathode de pile à combustible des électrons de l'énergie réductrice microbienne.
