Alamethicin suppresses methanogenesis and promotes acetogenesis in bioelectrochemical systems.
Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) systems with mixed cultures often generate a variety of gaseous and soluble chemicals. Methane is the primary end product in mixed-culture MES because it is the thermodynamically most favorable reduction product of CO2. Here, we show that the peptaibol alamethicin selectively suppressed the growth of methanogens in mixed-culture MES systems, resulting in a shift...
متن کاملLow Substrate Loading Limits Methanogenesis and Leads to High Coulombic Efficiency in Bioelectrochemical Systems
A crucial aspect for the application of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) as a wastewater treatment technology is the efficient oxidation of complex substrates by the bioanode, which is reflected in high Coulombic efficiency (CE). To achieve high CE, it is essential to give a competitive advantage to electrogens over methanogens. Factors that affect CE in bioanodes are, amongst others, the type...
متن کاملMicrobes Facilitate Mineral Deposition in Bioelectrochemical Systems
Hydrothermal chimneys are striking, characteristic features of marine hydrothermal vents. These chimneys are dynamic environments occupied by a diversity of microbes whose distribution is typically concordant with mineralogy and temperature. Recent studies indicate that these chimney assemblages are conductive and present the possibility that microbial extracellular electron transfer may occur ...
متن کاملLipid-alamethicin interactions influence alamethicin orientation.
Whereas the barrel-stave configuration is accepted by most investigators as a good description of the conducting state of alamethicin, there are conflicting interpretations on its nonconducting state; in the absence of an applied field, some found alamethicin molecules on the membrane surface, but others found them incorporated in the hydrophobic core of the membrane. This problem is resolved b...
متن کاملBioelectrochemical Imaging with Micro/Nanoelectrode Systems
This paper report a novel approach for bioimaging with two different micro/nanoelectrode systems; i. e., scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) and individually addressable microelectrode array. Hybrid SECM systems with shear-force or ion-conductance feedback distance control were applied to high resolution and simultaneous imaging of topography and electrochemical responses of enzymes and ...
