The invention discloses a gram-positive bacterium extracellular electron transport chain construction method and a synthetic microbial agent. It is found that after a lipophilic material is added into an iron reduction system, the iron reduction speed and the iron reduction amount of gram-positive bacteria with weak electron transfer capacity are remarkably increased, and the iron reduction amount of the gram-positive bacteria can be consistent with the iron reduction magnitude of gram-negative strong iron reduction bacteria. The lipophilic degree and the iron reduction rate are subjected to correlation analysis and show significant positive correlation, which reveals that the lipophilic degree and the permeable membrane capacity of the material are key parameters for determining the iron reduction capacity of gram-positive bacteria. The lipophilic material not only can smoothly penetrate through the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria, but also can be enriched on a cell membrane in quantity, and gradually permeates into a cytoplasm matrix to generate electron exchange with NADH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Hormone) so as to construct a gram-positive bacteria extracellular electron transport chain.
