Anaerobes in Bioelectrochemical Systems
, 2015 In bioelectrochemical systems (BES), the catalytic activity of anaerobic microorganisms generates electrons at the anode which can be used, for example, for the production of electricity or chemical compounds. BES can be used for various purposes, including wastewater treatment, production of electricity, fuels and chemicals, biosensors, bioremediation,

Bioelectrochemical Systems for Clean Environment [PDF]
Journal of Biosensors & Bioelectronics, 2016 The aim of this work is to introduce bacteria into the matrix of natural phosphate to catalyze the phenol oxidation. The results showed that the NP-bacteria-CPE exhibited excellent electro catalytic activity to phenol. The appearance of three peaks of oxidation shows that the degradation of the phenol was total.
