ENGINEERED ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROBIOCATALYSIS AND PROCESS TO CONSTRUCT THE SAME

The present disclosure provides a ready-to-use bio-electrode stable for long term storage and a process of constructing the same. The process for construction of bio-electrode for electro-biocatalysis comprising of: selection of an electro-active bacteria; enrichment of said electro-active bacteria in a nutrient rich medium; separation of said electro-active bacterial cells from said nutrient rich medium; selection of an electrode material; surface modification of said electrode material; layering the surface modified electrode material with conductive material; layering the surface modified electrode material with an electro-active bacterial cells along with biofilm inducing agents and stabilizing agents; conditioning the electro-active bacterial cells layered electrode; incubating the electrode obtained with an immobilizing agent along with conductive material; and conditioning the electrode with micronutrients to obtain a bio-electrode.
