The front cover picture shows a bacterial cell interfaced with an electrochemical setup, driven by renewable energy, and drifting among constellations of biocompatible chemical catalysts. In their minireview, D. W. Domaille and K. N. Stewart look at the state‐of‐the‐art technology to alter cellular metabolic profiles with electrochemistry, photochemistry, and biocompatible chemical catalysis. In particular, emphasis is placed on how to combine live microbes with abiotic catalysts to expand the yield and scope of products available from biosynthetic processes.
