A defined co-culture of Geobacter sulfurreducens and Escherichia coli in a membrane-less microbial fuel cell.

abstract：:Co-culture of hepatocytes or hepatocyte spheroids with the supporting NIH3T3 in a 3D microcapsule formed with a hybrid natural/synthetic matrix has led to enhanced hepatocyte functions. We investigated the mechanism of the functional enhancement in co-culture with respect to the contributions of soluble factors and di...
