The effects of artificial porphyrins on the electron-transport chains of living microbes were investigated. The participation of porphyrins in the microbial electron-transport chains was demonstrated by spectroscopic and current-generation measurements. Large enhancement of the microbial current generation was accomplished by adding a cationic water-soluble manganese porphyrin as an electron mediator.
