TL;DR: The proposed system is a net energy producer which does not rely heavily on the external supply of electron donor substrates and was compared with that of fruit waste fed MFCs (FP-MFCs), wherein LEA-fed MFC was superior in all aspects.

TL;DR: The abundance of the denitrifying genes namely narG, nirS, and nosZ were assessed with the help of quantitative PCR and presence of all the genes in both the conditions ensured the necessary molecular requirements for complete denitrification.

TL;DR: In this paper, Nitrate acted as an electron acceptor at the cathode, enabling completion of the MFC circuit and simultaneous nitrate and U (VI) removal, achieving a power density of 2.91 Wm−3 and nitrate removal rate of 0.130 kg NO3−−-Nm−m −3−d−1.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates the utility of MFC for degrading starch in saline water with successful removal of starch and nitrate and decline in power density when the salt concentrations >1000 mM were used.

TL;DR: The present study demonstrates the utility of MFCs for the treatment of high nitrate wastes under optimized biochemical conditions, nitrate removal rate of 6.5 kg NO3−-N/m3 net cathodic compartment (NCC)/day and power density of 210 mW/m2 were achieved in a low resistance MFC.
