Microbial carbon use efficiency in different ecosystems: A meta‐analysis based on a biogeochemical equilibrium model

Global Change Biology, 2023
Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a crucial parameter that can be used to evaluate the partitioning of soil carbon (C) between microbial growth and respiration.

Improved cathode for high efficient microbial-catalyzed reduction in microbial electrosynthesis cells

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2013
Microbial electrosynthesis cells (MECs) are devices wherein microorganisms can electrochemically interact with electrodes, directly donating or accepting electrons from electrode surfaces. Here, we developed a novel cathode by using nickel nanowires anchored to graphite for the improvement of microbial-catalyzed reduction in MEC cathode chamber.

Microbial assemblies with distinct trophic strategies drive changes in soil microbial carbon use efficiency along vegetation primary succession in a glacier retreat area of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a vital physiological parameter in assessing carbon turnover. Yet, how the microbial assemblies with distinct trophic strategies regulate the soil microbial CUE remains elusive.

Unlocking Mechanisms for Soil Organic Matter Accumulation: Carbon Use Efficiency and Microbial Necromass as the Keys

Global Change Biology
Soil microorganisms transform plant‐derived C (carbon) into particulate organic C (POC) and mineral‐associated C (MAOC) pools. While microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is widely recognized in current biogeochemical models as a key predictor of soil ...

Microbial efficiency drives depth-dependent soil carbon storage under organic fertilization.

Journal of Environmental Management
The activity of microorganisms and their turnover strongly influence soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation. However, microbial life-death cycles mediate the influence of fertilization on SOC storage across soil depths escapes mechanistic clarity.

The efficient treatment of breeding wastewater by an electroactive microbial community in microbial fuel cell

Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, 2022
Breeding wastewater is still challenging to be treated due to its large emissions, high contents of organic pollutants and various pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, breeding wastewater was efficiently treated by an electroactive microbial community screened from the native microorganisms of the breeding wastewater in microbial fuel cells (MFC).
