Supplementary Figure 2: Schematic of the circuit in the microbial fuel cell system
(not to scale). Microorganisms are shown with conductive pili and with electron
shuttle mediator columns to represent possible mechanisms of transferring electrons
to the electrode. A 100  electrode is in series with the electrodes, and a data
acquisition system was used to measure voltage drop across the resistor.
