Microbial bio-electrochemistry is an emerging scientific field that studies electron exchanges between electrodes and living organisms. There are two distinct types of exchange: the anodic transfers where an organism will reduce the electrode surface and cathodic transfers where the surface will be oxidized by the organism whom will be able to reduce other compounds such as nitrate in its environment using the picked-up electrons. This thesis focusses on the study and development of nitrate reducing bio-cathodes with the long-term objective of depolluting natural environments. In a first study, graphite electrodes under constant polarization are analyzed and show a bio-catalyzed oxygen reduction which causes an indirect increase of denitrif...
