Biohydrogen production via biocatalyzed electrolysis in acetate-fed bioelectrochemical cells and microbial community analysis

TL;DR: In this article, a two-chambered bioelectrochemical cell (BEC) was used to produce hydrogen via acetate oxidation using a modified microbial fuel cell (MFC), in which a cathode was kept free of oxygen and the thermodynamic barrier overcome by augmenting the electrochemical potential achieved by bacteria with the addition of a small external voltage.
