Geochip-based functional gene analysis of anodophilic communities in microbial electrolysis cells under different operational modes.
A microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) is a bioelectrochemical system that can produce hydrogen from acetate at high hydrogen recoveries, but the composition and structure of the microbial communities in this system have not been extensively studied. We used a high throughput metagenomics technology (GeoChip) to examine the microbial community functional structure in MECs initially operated under ...
متن کاملDevelopment and applications of functional gene microarrays in the analysis of the functional diversity, composition, and structure of microbial communities
Functional gene arrays (FGAs) are a special type of microarrays containing probes for key genes involved in microbial functional processes, such as biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and metals, biodegradation of environmental contaminants, energy processing, and stress responses. GeoChips are considered as the most comprehensive FGAs. Experimentally established pro...
متن کاملMicrobial Community Functional Structures in Wastewater Treatment Plants as Characterized by GeoChip
BACKGROUND Biological WWTPs must be functionally stable to continuously and steadily remove contaminants which rely upon the activity of complex microbial communities. However, knowledge is still lacking in regard to microbial community functional structures and their linkages to environmental variables. AIMS To investigate microbial community functional structures of activated sludge in wast...
متن کاملA rapid selection strategy for an anodophilic consortium for microbial fuel cells.
A rapid selection method was developed to enrich for a stable and efficient anodophilic consortium (AC) for microbial fuel cells (MFCs). A biofilm sample from a microbial electrolysis cell was serially diluted up to 10(-9) in anaerobic phosphate buffer solution and incubated in an Fe(III)-acetate medium, and an Fe(III)-reducing AC was obtained for dilutions up to 10(-6). The activity of MFC ino...
متن کاملPerformance Analyses of Microbial Fuel Cells Operated in Series
Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are capable of producing electricity while cleaning wastewater. This novel technology can replace energy-consuming aerobic treatment even if low effluent concentrations are demanded. The goal of this work is to optimize a MFC-based wastewater treatment process. A MFC mathematical model, which accounts for co-existence of methanogenic and anodophilic microbial populat...
