Cover Story: Global efforts are increasingly geared towards the development of clean energy technologies to supplement fossil fuel consumption. One novel approach is to harvest photocurrent from photosynthetic organisms. Under irradiation, they produce NADPH, which applies as an electron donor in a bio-electrochemical cell (BEC). In this study, Carlini, A., Shlosberg, Y., and co-workers show for the first time that cherries may also be integrated into a BEC and produce electrical current which is enhanced under illumination. Among the redox species that play a role in current production are NADH, anthocyanins, and ascorbic acid, whose concentrations are known to increase under illumination. We show that fruit maturation enhances this output, suggesting a potential use for agricultural surplus products. View this paper
