Iron reducing bacteria Capable of Electricity Generation in
MFCs Can Transfer electrons using self-produced nanowires
(Gorby et al., 2006th; Reguera et al., the 2,005th). Therefore It May
be possible that the bacteria that produced Electricity in the
current Study also used nanowires, Although cyclic Voltammetry
Can not be used to detect the Presence of nanowires
(Logan et al., Two thousand and six).
3.3. Breakdown during ethanol oxidation intermediates
Average score Products in the head and Space Solution
in Two MFCs were analyzed in DiVerent operated modes.
Initially, both MFCs were operated in a Closed Circuit Normal
mode. Power Generation once there was sustained over
several Cycles, the external Circuit for one of these MFCs
was opened (shown at 2h; open Circuit mode; Fig. 5) in
Order to examine ethanol degradation in the absence of the
Circuit for transferring electrons. The MFC operated with a
Closed Circuit produced 200mV (470 ?; Fig 5A). Ethanol
Rapid degradation was more than in the MFC in the Reactor
with the Disconnected Circuit, Although ethanol was eventually
completely degraded in both Systems (Fig 5C). Ethanol
degradation resulted in the accumulation of CO2 in the 8%
Reactor Headspace (70ml head of Space) after 140 H (Fig 5B)
for the MFC. CO2 Production also occurred in the open Circuit
Reactor, but not until after 34 H and at a Lower Wnal concentration
in the Headspace ( »3%). Methane (1-2%) was
Found in the Circuit Reactor Headspace of the open after
20 H, and remained Operation Constant over the period of
140 H. However, was not detected methane in the Closed Circuit
MFC (IE under conditions of Electricity Generation).
Acetate was produced in both reactors as a Result of ethanol
degradation (Fig. 5D). Acetate was rapidly produced
in the Reactor Closed Circuit while no acetate was observed
in the open for the Wrst Circuit Reactor H 7 of Operation, even
though »0.4mm of ethanol was consumed (Fig. 5C). The
Rapid appearance of acetate in the Closed Circuit MFC indicated
that Electricity Generation proceeded in a manner
related to ethanol degradation via acetate. However, the
Production of acetate in the open Circuit MFC suggests that
acetate Production was also possible Without Electron
Transfer to the anode, perhaps as a Result of bacterial
metabolism sustained by Oxygen that DiVused Into the
anode Chamber Through the membrane or using sulfate in
the Medium. . Acetaldehyde, which is produced by Metal-catalyzed
reactions in ethanol fuel cells, was not detected.
When the Circuit in the open Circuit Reactor was reconnected
after 28 days, the Voltage Again Increased Indicating
the bacteria in the BioWlm were still present and viable after
this. long inactive period.
The High concentrations of acetate produced in the
US to MFC LED Wonder if occurred Electricity Production
from acetate only, and not from ethanol. The Observation
that acetate was produced from ethanol, and the Lack of
acetate accumulation in the Medium at the End of a Batch
Test also indicates that Electricity is produced from acetate.
When acetate was injected Into an ethanol-used
MFC, a Rapid increase in Voltage. was observed Within
30min (Data not shown). This indicates that the metabolic Result
of the Pathway Community Collective using bacterial
metabolic ethanol also has the capability of acetate oxidation
with anode Reduction. We further examined whether
acclimation of a MFC only to acetate would create conditions
that would readily Allow ethanol degradation. We
added Therefore Into an ethanol-acetate used MFC.
Slow to Develop Power Generation was, requiring over 40 H
to reach a maximum Voltage as compared to only 30 min
with an ethanol-enriched MFC (Fig. 6). The Delay for a
Voltage increase indicated that the BioWlm Needed to acclimate
to ethanol likely Due to the growth of bacteria DiVerent,
based on relatively long times Relative to that Needed
for New Expression enzyme. Also Showed that an Acetateacclimated
BioWlm had the capacity to acclimate to ethanol.
3.4. Single-Chamber MFC using ethanol
In Order to See if Power greater densities could be produced
in a MFC using ethanol, DiVerent Two approaches
were examined for inoculating a single-Chamber MFC:
