    Abstract Electroactive microorganisms are pivotal players in mineral transformation within redox interfaces characterized by pronounced oxygen and dissolved metal gradients. Yet, their systematic cultivation from such environments remains elusive. Here, we conducted an anodic enrichment using anoxic ferruginous waters from a post-mining lake as inoculum.

    Abstract The combination of anaerobic digestion (AD) and microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) offers different opportunities to increase the efficiency and sustainability of AD processes. However, methanogenic archaea and/or particles may partially hinder combining MET and AD processes. Furthermore, it is unclear if the applied anode potential affects the activity and efficiency of electroactive microorganisms in AD-MET combinations as it is described for more controlled experimental conditions. In this study, we confirm that 6-week-old

    Abstract Bed electrodes provide high electrode area-to-volume ratios represent a promising configuration for transferring bioelectrochemical systems close to industrial applications. Nevertheless, the intrinsic electrical resistance leads to poor polarization behavior. Therefore, the distribution of Geobacter spp. and their electrochemical performance within exemplary fixed-bed electrodes are investigated. A minimally invasive sampling system allows characterization of granules from different spatial locations of bed electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry of single granules (n=63) demonstrates that the major share of electroactivity (134.3 mA L

Here, we introduce an electrochemical microwell plate (ec-MP) composed of a 96 electrochemical deepwell plate and a recently developed 96-channel multipotentiostat.

    Abstract Geobacter spp. enrichment biofilms were cultivated in batch using one-chamber and two-chamber bioelectrochemical reactors. Time-resolved substrate quantification was performed to derive physiological parameters as well as incremental coulombic efficiency (i.e., coulombic efficiency during one batch cycle, here every 6h) during early stage biofilm development. The results of one-chamber reactors revealed an intermediate acetate increase putatively due to the presence of acetogens. Total coulombic efficiencies of two-chamber reactors were considerable lower (19.6±8.3% and 49.3±13.2% for 1st and 2nd batch cycle, respectively) compared to usually reported values of mature Geobacter spp. enrichment biofilms presumably reflecting energetic requirements for biomass production (i.e., cells and extracellular polymeric substances) during early stages of biofilm development. The incremental coulombic efficiency exhibits considerable changes during batch cycles indicating shifts between phases of maximizing metabolic rates and maximizing biomass yield. Analysis based on Michaelis-Menten kinetics yielded maximum substrate uptake rates (vmax,Ac, vmax,I) and half-saturation concentration coefficients (KM,Ac,KM,I) based on acetate uptake or current production, respectively. The latter is usually reported in literature but neglects energy demands for biofilm growth and maintenance as well as acetate and electron storage. From 1st to 2nd batch cycle, vmax,Ac and KM,Ac, decreased from 0.0042-0.0051 mmol Ac- h-1 cm-2 to 0.0031-0.0037 mmol Ac- h-1 cm-2 and 1.02-2.61 mM Ac- to 0.28-0.42 mM Ac-, respectively. Furthermore, differences between KM,Ac/KM,I and vmax,Ac/vmax,I were observed providing insights into the physiology of Geobacter spp. enrichment biofilms. Notably, KM,I considerably scattered while vmax,Ac/vmax,I and KM,Ac remained rather stable indicating that acetate transport within biofilm only marginally affects reaction rates. The observed data variation mandates the requirement of a more detailed analysis with an improved experimental system, e.g., using flow conditions and a comparison with Geobacter spp. pure cultures.

    Abstract Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) allows nondestructive, label-free and in vivo imaging of large specimen, even at nontransparent surfaces. We show that LSFM can be applied for label-free analyses of prokaryotes on the example of electroactive biofilms. Biofilm growth is linked to the production of current serving as measure of metabolic activity in vivo by monitoring with high spatial and temporal resolution. After 35 h of exponential growth, a homogeneous biofilm with a thickness of 9 μm was formed. This was followed by a stratification of the biofilm including the formation of 3D structures over the next 100 h. Light reflection was sufficient to visualize the biofilm structure and development over time and the terminal morphology was confirmed using fluorescence staining. This proof of concept on using LSFM for investigation of biofilms opens the door for its application in the entire field of microbial ecology. © 2020 The Authors.

    Abstract Biogas is an important renewable energy carrier. It is a product of stepwise anaerobic degradation of organic materials by highly diverse microbial communities forming complex interlinking metabolic networks. Knowledge about the microbial background of long-term stable process performance in full-scale reactors is crucial for rationally improving the efficiency and reliability of biogas plants. To generate such knowledge, in the present study three parallel mesophilic full-scale reactors fed exclusively with energy crops were sampled weekly over one year. Physicochemical process parameters were determined and the microbial communities were analysed by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) fingerprinting and 454-amplicon sequencing. For investigating the methanogenic community, a high-resolution T-RFLP approach based on the mcrA gene was developed by selecting restriction enzymes with improved taxonomic resolution compared to previous studies. Interestingly, no Methanosarcina-related generalists, but rather specialized hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic methanogenic taxa were detected. In general, the microbial communities in the non-connected reactors were remarkably stable and highly similar indicating that identical environmental and process parameters resulted in identical microbial assemblages and dynamics. Practical implications such as flexible operation schemes comprising controlled variations of process parameters for an efficient microbial resource management under fluctuating process conditions are discussed.

    Abstract Microbial electrosynthesis is a highly promising application of microbial electrochemical technologies for the sustainable production of organic compounds. At the same time a multitude of questions need to be answered and challenges to be met. Central for its further development is using appropriate electroactive microorganisms and their efficient extracellular electron transfer (EET) as well as wiring of the metabolism to EET. Among others, Clostridia are believed to represent electroactive microbes being highly promising for microbial electrosynthesis. We investigated the potential steps and challenges for the bio-electrochemical fermentation (electro-fermentation) of mid-chain organic acids using Clostridium kluyveri. Starting from a metabolic model the potential limitations of the metabolism as well as beneficial scenarios for electrochemical stimulation were identified and experimentally investigated. C. kluyveri was shown to not be able to exchange electrons with an electrode directly. Therefore, exogenous mediators (2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone, potassium ferrocyanide, neutral red, methyl viologen, methylene blue, and the macrocyclic cobalt hexaamine [Co(trans-diammac)]

    Abstract The combination of anaerobic digestion (AD) and microbial electrochemical technologies provides the opportunity to efficiently produce methane and electrical energy from complex biomass. Enhanced methane production and system stability have been reported but the causes (electrolysis or microbial–electrochemical interactions) are less understood. Using the model substrate corn silage it is demonstrated that, for conditions allowing microbiome growth and adaptation, the methane yield of combined reactors remains constant (216 (±29) mL godm−1) while a second product, electrons (q = 14.4 (±0.8) kC, jmax = 1.34 mA cm−2 geometric current density), is also generated. The combined strategy allowed up to a 27% increase in total yield while the reactor community and its dynamics over time were not affected. A typical AD composition of Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, and Synergistetes (bacteria) as well as Methanosarcina, Methanoculleus and Methanobacterium (archaea) was found in the bulk liquid. Specific enrichments of Geobacter (anode) and Methanobacterium (cathode) were of functional relevance.
