+    Dual-chamber electrochemical devices on M9 medium, used to compare current production
+    from monocultures against the consortium. The cyanobacterium charges the system in the
+    light by making d-lactate; Shewanella discharges it in the dark by oxidising that
+    d-lactate to the anode. The consortium sustained electricity production for over 40 days.
+  electrode_detail: >-
+    Anode-respiring: the engineered S. oneidensis releases electrons from d-lactate and
+    transfers them to the anode. No applied potential is recorded because the paper reports
+    power output rather than poised-potential operation.
+  notes: >-
+    Light and dark are the operating cycle, not a condition. Charging and discharging are run
+    sequentially under light and dark, and the paper's own attempt to run the consortium under
+    continuous light failed - it produced no current, because photosynthetic oxygen raised
+    dissolved oxygen and Shewanella is itself light-sensitive. Recording an illumination
+    setting as a single value would flatten the finding into a parameter.
+
+    `cultivation_mode` is BATCH because the devices are charged and discharged rather than
+    fed and drained; no dilution or feed rate is reported.
+
+    The LB at 30 °C elsewhere in the paper is the S. oneidensis preculture, not the
+    consortium, and is deliberately not recorded here (#529).
