Abstract

Invited for this issue's Front Cover is the international collaborative team with researchers from Universita degli Studi di Bari "Aldo Moro" (Italy), SAo Paulo State University (UNESP, Brasil), and Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (Italy). The cover picture shows purple bacterial cells that hit, or miss, their "target electrode" with photo-induced electrons depending on the concentration of dinitrophenol at which they are exposed. Under low dinitrophenol concentration, the electrons can reach the target, while under high dinitrophenol concentrations the electrons are diverted away from the electrode.
