TL;DR: This work proves for the first time the bioelectrochemical production of butyrate from CO2 as a sole carbon source and demonstrates that the CO2 reduction tobutyrate was hydrogen driven.

TL;DR: The principles of electrically driven fermentations are discussed and how EF can be used to steer both pure culture and microbiota-based fermentations, and which doors might be opened in waste biomass utilization towards added-value biorefineries.

TL;DR: Evaluated the feasibility of MFC technology for water denitification and identified and quantified potential energy losses that result from their usage and identified Cathodic overpotential as the main energy loss factors.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent advances made in the field of electromethanogenesis to address the main future challenges and opportunities of this novel process and identifies potential niche applications to overcome current technological boundaries.

TL;DR: In this article, an anammox start-up and enrichment methodology for treating high nitrogen load wastewaters using sequencing batch reactor (SBR) technology is presented, which is based on the gradual increase of the nitrite-to-ammonium molar ratio in the influent (from 0.76 to 1.32 mole NO2−-N mole−1NH4+-N) and on the exponential increase of nitrogen loading rate (NLR, from 0.01 to 0.60 kg N m−3 d−1).
