In article number 1900215 , Lo Gorton and co‐workers demonstrate that high molecular weight polymeric electron mediators are able to penetrate into the envelope of microbial cells and directly connect to their metabolism to create and enhance a conductive pathway to electrodes. The conceptual understanding of the processes explored in this study are urgently required for optimal co‐development of biotic and abiotic elements within a single microbial electrochemical system.
