Neutral red

Neutral red is a phenazine-based dye which has an suitable redox-potential to function as an electron-shuttle from the electrode to the cells.


Figure 1: Chemical structure of the triphenylmethane dye neutral red.


Bromphenol blue

Bromphenolblue is a triarylmethane dye that is similar to neutral red and also capable to function as mediator.

Figure 2: Chemical structure of the triphenylmethane dye bromphenol blue.



Cytochromes

Cytochromes are proteins containing a heme group. They are primarly responsible for the electron transport in the respiratory chain.
