Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing microbially generated power on the seafloor
Leonard M. Tender,Clare E. Reimers,Hilmar A. Stecher,Dawn E. Holmes,Daniel R. Bond,Daniel A. Lowy,Kanoelani T. Pilobello,Stephanie Fertig,Derek R. Lovley +8 more
TL;DR: These results demonstrate in real marine environments a new form of power generation that uses an immense, renewable energy reservoir (sedimentary organic carbon) and has near-immediate application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harvesting Energy from the Marine Sediment−Water Interface
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that the sediment/anode−seawater/cathode configuration constitutes a microbial fuel cell in which power results from the net oxidation of sediment organic matter by dissolved seawater oxygen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Communities Associated with Electrodes Harvesting Electricity from a Variety of Aquatic Sediments
Dawn E. Holmes,Daniel R. Bond,Regina A. O'Neil,Clare E. Reimers,L. R. Tender,Derek R. Lovley +5 more
TL;DR: Future studies designed to help optimize the harvesting of electricity from aquatic sediments or waste organic matter should focus on the electrode interactions of these microorganisms which are most competitive in colonizing anodes and cathodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial fuel cell energy from an ocean cold seep
Clare E. Reimers,Peter R. Girguis,Peter R. Girguis,Hilmar A. Stecher,Leonard M. Tender,Natacha Ryckelynck,P. Whaling +6 more
TL;DR: While cold seeps have the potential to provide more power than neighbouring ocean sediments, the limits of mass transport as well as the proclivity for passivation must be considered when developing new benthic microbial fuel cell designs to meet specific power requirements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon fluxes and burial rates over the continental slope and rise off central California with implications for the global carbon cycle
TL;DR: In situ microelectrode, box-core pore water gradient, and in situ benthic chamber estimates of organic carbon degradation and CaCO3 dissolution are combined with organic-C and carbonate-C accumulation rates to approximate the total carbon flux to the seafloor along two transects of the continental slope and rise off central California as discussed by the authors.
