  1. Note: Cytochrome c and NADH have different standard potentials. The power density for the mixed mode was calculated by summing the power contributions from the riboflavin and FMN-involved DET and the cytochrome c-dependent DET; that is, the current outputs of DETs were multiplied by their appropriate voltages, respectively.
