Geopsychrobacter electrodiphilus is a species of bacteria, the type species of its genus. It is a psychotolerant member of its family, capable of attaching to the anodes of sediment fuel cells and harvesting electricity by oxidizing organic compounds to carbon dioxide and transferring the electrons to the anode. Its type species is A1T (ATCC BAA-880T; DSM 16401T; JCM 12469).[1]
