Özet
Most of the energy for all forms of life in the world originates from the sun, the ultimate energy source. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae and some bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy with a quantum yield of about 100% [1]. Cyanobacteria, also called blue green algae, account for 20-30% of the primary photosynthetic activity on earth. The electrogenic conduit of cyanobacteria might be exploited to develop light sensitive devices that can convert solar energy into electricity [2]. Recently Rhodobacter capsulatus, the metabolically versatile purple bacteria, was shown to communicate with osmium redox polymer modified graphite electrodes [3].
