Abstract

Highlights • A lithoautotrophic archaeon selectively produces methane at − 0.4 V vs. SHE. • Methane production by strain IM1 proceeds with a coulomb efficiency of 80%. • CO2 reduction by strain IM1 features a low overpotential of only − 0.16 V vs. SHE. • Below − 0.4 V vs. SHE selectivity changes and H2 is evolved in a second pathway. • Strain IM 1 shows great promise for bioelectrical conversion of renewable energy.
