Abstract
Abstract In this study the influence of the external circuit resistance on the metabolic behaviour of anodic biofilm in Microbial fuel cell (MFC) was studied. The results obtained demonstrated that extremely low and extremely high circuit loads could deteriorate the bio-electrochemistry of anodic respiration by shifting the microbial metabolism towards typical fermentation of the substrates. The best conditions for respiration and efficient substrate mineralisation of nearly 70% were found in the MFC reactor with 0.1 kΩ resistance in the anode and cathode connecting circuit. Two species of electrochemically active bacteria were isolated from the anodic community and were taxonomically affiliated to Pseudomonas and Bacillus genera based on 16 s rRNA genes amplification and sequencing.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
