The continuous release of phosphorus from sediments by geochemical processes can cause endogenous eutrophication. This study examined the effect of carbon felt-sediment microbial fuel cells (CF-SMFCs) on the release of deposited phosphorus into the overlying water. In the CF-MFC system, the voltage ranged from 27 to 584 mV and the anode electrode potential increased from -130 mV to 202 mV. The Standard Measurements and Testing (SMT) method was employed to sequentially extract the sediment phosphorus in the sediments. A notable vertical increase in NaOH-P and HCl-P concentrations was observed downward in the sediment. The DGT phosphorus, visualized by Zr-Oxide DGT with submillimeter resolution, was removed by 52.04% in CF-SMFC. CF-SMFC notably facilitated the stabilization of phosphorus, promoting its conversion from pore water to sediment. The underlying mechanism suggests that the dissolution of solid-phase phosphorus into the overlying water was mitigated by the competition for organic substrates between Fe(III) reduction and the solid electrode. CF-SMFC can be used to increase the redox potential of the sediment and in-situ stabilize phosphorus in the sediment.

Microbial Electrochemical Technology (MET) offers a promising avenue for CO utilization by leveraging the ability of chemolithotrophic microorganisms to use inorganic carbon in biosynthetic processes. By harnessing the power of electroactive bacteria, METs can facilitate the conversion of inorganic carbon into organic compounds. Therefore, this work combines biosurfactant production at the anode and PHB production at the cathode of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), while testing the efficiency of Microbial Electrosynthesis Cells (MECs), and traditional culture in liquid media.

There is a demand and widespread interest in evaluating microbial community structures and metabolic processes in hydrocarbon environments. The current work aims to detect microbial subgroups (phenotypic subsets) and their metabolic processes, such as substrate specificity and expression of niche-associated genes. In this study, we were able to discriminate different cell types in real time from a complex sample matrix to allow the detection of live, dead, and injured cell populations in jet fuels.

Microbial fuel cell (MFC) can convert the chemical energy of organic matter in wastewater into electrical energy with high degradation efficiency. In this study, a type of specialized microorganism, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was screened and added to an MFC to promote the degradation of wastewater generated during the production of cytidine acid while improving the performance of the MFC. The MFC achieved a maximum voltage of 57.

Au nanoparticles-composite TiO nanowires (NWs) modified carbon paper (CP) anode was synthesized via the hydrothermal method. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images demonstrate that the modified nanocomposite electrode features a rough and bumpy surface structure. The electrochemical activities of TiO-Au/CP and the control electrodes (TiO-NWs/CP, Au/CP, CP) for microbial fuel cell (MFC) are investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).

The ability of different microbes to form biofilms on materials found in aviation fuel systems was assessed using both individual isolates and complex microbial communities. Biofilm formation by the Gram-negative bacterium, , the fungus and the yeast, , was influenced by material surface properties although this differed between isolates. Biofilm formation was greatest at the fuel-water interface.
