Trends in genetic and metabolic engineering of Geobacter sulfurreducens for bioelectrochemical systems: a bibliometric analysis.
Review in Archives of microbiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical systems that harness electrogenic bacteria (EB) to catalyze electrochemical reactions at electrodes for electricity generation. Despite their promise for clean energy, challenges such as low efficiency, high cost and secondary pollutant formation limit their widespread application. Geobacter sulfurreducens, a model electrogenic bacterium, plays a central role in MFC research due to its robust extracellular electron transfer (EET) capabilities and ability to form stable, conductive biofilms. Understanding and engineering its metabolic pathways, gene expression and synergistic interactions with other microorganisms can significantly enhance MFC performance. This review highlights advances in the metabolic and genetic modification of G. sulfurreducens, its syntrophic interactions with other bacteria and approaches for improving MFC performance. Through bibliometric analysis, we identify publication trends, research hotspots and emerging approaches in MFCs. Collectively, this work provides a roadmap for leveraging G. sulfurreducens and microbial consortia to improve bioelectrochemical system efficiency and advance sustainable energy technologies.
