Description
Summary:Highlights • We review four promising biotechnological applications of electroporation. • Reversible electroporation is an efficient method for genetic transformation of microorganisms. • Irreversible electroporation allows the inactivation of microbes and the extraction of biomolecules. • Water release due to electroporation increases the efficiency of biomass drying.
