Since rapidly increasing energy demands have aroused tremendous research activities on energy storage and conversion, microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, and viruses) have played significant roles in developing high‐performance electrodes due to their strong abilities of fast reproduction, biomineralization, gene modification, and self‐assembly. Recently, a large quantity of bacteria and fungi has been utilized as the precursors to produce heteroatom–doped carbons or as the biofactories and templates to biomineralize the metal ions to form carbon‐based composites. In addition, in virtue of easy genetic modification, nanoscale viruses with functional groups are directly used as biotemplates for the self‐assembly of the active materials. In this review, a detailed introduction on the microorganisms and their unique abilities as well as the mechanisms behind their operations are discussed. Moreover, recent progress on bacteria‐ and fungi‐derived carbon materials and their composites, as well as the virus‐templated bio‐materials as the electrodes in electrochemical fields, including batteries and electrocatalysts, are further summarized. Finally, challenges and perspectives on the development of the microorganism derivations in electrochemical fields are also provided. This review offers guidance for the rational design of advanced electrode materials from microorganisms and extend the energy systems from the man‐made to biofabrication.

“…Staphylococcus aureus, a potentially lethal opportunistic pathogen, can cause local skin or soft tissue infections, as well as systemic infections, including bacteremia, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, endocarditis and toxic shock syndrome. This pathogen has been shown to modulate hosts’ immune responses via an IL‐10‐dependent mechanism, thus facilitating its persistence during infection . Leech et al .…”

A diverse population of regulatory B (Breg) cells reportedly exhibits significant immunomodulatory effects in various models of inflammatory responses and infectious diseases caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. Breg cells contribute to maintenance of homeostasis via IL-10 production and multiple IL-10-independent mechanisms. The current review describes various phenotypic and functional subsets of Breg cells in autoimmune and infectious diseases and discusses the impacts of experimental conditions that have been found to drive Breg cell differentiation.

“…Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium that colonizes the skin and nostrils of most healthy individuals (Li et al, 2015; Mulcahy and McLoughlin, 2016). It is also a common cause of human diseases, ranging from minor cutaneous infections to invasive hematogenous infections, as observed in children and young adults with necrotizing staphylococcal pneumonitis (Gillet et al, 2002).…”
