Application of electro-active biofilms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The concept of an electro-active biofilm (EAB) has recently emerged from a few studies that discovered that certain bacteria which form biofilms on conductive materials can achieve a direct electrochemical connection with the electrode surface using it ...

Bioelectrochemical Systems for Removal of Selected Metals and Perchlorate from Groundwater: A Review

open access: yesEnergies, 2018
Groundwater contamination is a major issue for human health, due to its largely diffused exploitation for water supply. Several pollutants have been detected in groundwater; amongst them arsenic, cadmium, chromium, vanadium, and perchlorate.

Single-chamber microbial electrosynthesis reactor for nitrate reduction from waters with a low-electron donors’ concentration: from design and set-up to the optimal operating potential

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Microbial electrosynthesis is a promising solution for removing nitrate from water with a low concentration of electron donors. Three single-chamber microbial electrosynthesis reactors were constructed and operated for almost 2 years.

Different methods used to form oxygen reducing biocathodes lead to different biomass quantities, bacterial communities, and electrochemical kinetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Six biocathodes catalyzing oxygen reduction were designed from the same environmental inoculum but using three different methods. Two were formed freely at open circuit potential, two using conventional aerobic polarization at -0.2V/SCE and two by ...

High Performing Gas Diffusion Biocathode for Microbial Fuel Cells Using Acidophilic Iron Oxidizing Bacteria

open access: yesFrontiers in Energy Research, 2019
The development of a sustainable catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is still a major bottleneck for the scale-up and commercialization of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). In this work, we have studied the utilization of iron-oxidizing bacteria (
