This study provides in-depth insights into the thermodynamics of electrochemical processes that govern generation and temporal modulation open-circuit potentials in biofilms presents foundation applications potential methods to bioelectrochemical behaviors biofilms. investigation was guided by an overarching hypothesis models should adequately explain patterns generated when environmental conditions change; from this work, a generalized model endemic biofilm electrode developed validated. The proposed accounts for open system kinetics transformations, is simplified enable applicability wide range are possible within As such, can account different parameters associated with various systems extendable include numerous other experimental conditions. predictions were compared data 48 equidistantly located microbial potentiometric sensor electrodes chamber capable simulating naturally occurring water matrix, which exposed By combining electrochemical-cell approaches, explained dependences circuit aerobic anaerobic interconversion two regimes commonly observed natural systems. At same time, it enables extraction relevant kinetic experimentally measured time evolution potentials.
