Engineering materials and biology to boost performance of microbial fuel cells: a critical review
Antonio Rinaldi,Barbara Mecheri,Virgilio Garavaglia,Silvia Licoccia,Paolo Di Nardo,Enrico Traversa +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors outline the current perspective about microbial fuel cells (MFCs) by focusing on the recent major advances in the areas of materials and engineering, and highlight the promising devices to address sustainability concerns both in terrestrial and space applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comprehensive overview of elements in bioremediation
TL;DR: The various in situ and ex situ bioremediation techniques are discussed and elaborate on the anaerobic digestion technology, phytoremediations, hyperaccumulation, composting and biosorption for their effectiveness in the biotreatment, stabilization and eventually overall remediation of contaminated strata and environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial community structure and dynamics during anaerobic digestion of various agricultural waste materials.
TL;DR: Bacterial communities involved in the anaerobic digestion of conventional substrates such as maize silage combined with cattle manure were relatively stable and similar to each other, whereas special waste materials were digested by very distinct and less diverse communities, indicating partial ammonia inhibition or the influence of other inhibiting factors.

Cultivation of uncultured chloroflexi subphyla: significance and ecophysiology of formerly uncultured chloroflexi 'subphylum i' with natural and biotechnological relevance.
Takeshi Yamada,Yuji Sekiguchi +1 more
TL;DR: Recent findings on the ecological significance and possible ecophysiological roles of 'Chloroflexi subphylum I' are discussed based on findings from both the characteristics of the cultured Chlor oflexi and molecular-based analyses.

Electricity production by geobacter sulfurreducens attached to electrodes
Daniel R. Bond,Derek R. Lovley +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the effectiveness of microbial fuel cells can be increased with organisms such as G. sulfurreducens that can attach to electrodes and remain viable for long periods of time while completely oxidizing organic substrates with quantitative transfer of electrons to an electrode.

TL;DR: Nanowires produced by the oxygenic phototrophic cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803 and the thermophilic, fermentative bacterium Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum reveal that electrically conductive appendages are not exclusive to dissimilatory metal-reducing bacteria and may, in fact, represent a common bacterial strategy for efficient electron transfer and energy distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electricity generation by direct oxidation of glucose in mediatorless microbial fuel cells
TL;DR: A novel microorganism is reported on, Rhodoferax ferrireducens, that can oxidize glucose to CO2 and quantitatively transfer electrons to graphite electrodes without the need for an electron-shuttling mediator, which results in stable, long-term power production.
