Abstract

Microbial anode respiration in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) can enhance the degradations of many electron acceptor-type contaminants which are presumed to be competitive to anode respiration. The mechanisms underlying those counterintuitive processes are important for MFCs application but are unclear. This study integrated MFCs with anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), termed MFC-ABR, to enhance the reduction of azo dye acid orange-7 (AO-7). Compare with ABR, MFC-ABR enhanced the degradation of AO-7, especially at high AO-7 concentration (800 mg/L). Acute toxicity test suggested a higher detoxication efficiency in MFC-ABR. Higher microbial viability, dehydrogenase activity and larger sludge granule size were also observed in MFC-ABR. MFC-ABR significantly enriched and reshaped the microbial communities relative to ABR. Bacteria with respiratory versatility, e.g., Pseudomonas, Geobacter, and Shewanella, were significantly enriched. Functional prediction showed that six metabolism functions (manganese-, iron-, fumarate- and nitrate-respiration, oil bioremediation and chemoheterotrophy) were significantly stimulated while methanogenesis, sulfate-respiration, hydrogen-oxidation were suppressed in MFC-ABR relative to ABR. The results provided important information for understanding the role of microbial anode respiration in contaminated environments.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 September 2018.
All research outputs
#20,533,782
of 23,103,903 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Microbiology
#22,873
of 25,289 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#292,688
of 336,147 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Microbiology
#603
of 692 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,103,903 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 25,289 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,147 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 692 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
