Figure 2 CV Traces of DSFO+ and DSFO(Me)4 Solvents and their dielectric constants, ɛ, are indicated. Blue: 10 μM DSFO+ in water with 100 mM (pH 7.4) phosphate buffer supporting electrolyte. Red: 10 μM DSFO(Me)4 in chloroform with 100 mM tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate supporting electrolyte.

Figure 3 CA Traces from Representative M3C Replicates Operated at E = 0.27 V versus Ag/AgCl with WT, ΔmtrA, and ΔmtrB Strains At t = 2 hr, M3Cs were injected with (colored traces) 1 μM DSFO+ or (black traces) no DSFO+. Note that DSFO+ was added as a concentrated solution made from the same media used in reactors.

Figure 4 Average CV Data for M3Cs Containing the Three S. oneidensis MR-1 Strains with and without DSFO+ Black traces represent M3Cs not modified with DSFO+, and red traces represent M3Cs modified with 1 μM DSFO+. Vertical blue dashed lines in the plots indicate the poised potential of E = 0.27 V used for collecting the CA traces (note that this potential was chosen to match the expected formal potential of DSFO+ in lipid). (A) CV and derivative traces for WT-M3Cs before (t = −1 hr) and after (t = 2 hr) DSFO+ addition. (B) CV and derivative traces for ΔmtrA-M3Cs before (t = −1 hr) and after (t = 2 hr) DSFO+ addition. (C) CV and derivative traces for ΔmtrB-M3Cs before (t = −1 hr) and after (t = 2 hr) DSFO+ addition.
