Acetate- and glucose-fed microbial fuel cells. Samples of bioanodes as well as biomass not associated with electrodes.
We operated microbial fuel cells (MFCs) on acetate or glucose and investigated the responses to starvation, exposure to alternative electron donors, and conversion of the bioanodes into biocathodes. Samples for DNA extraction, PCR of the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene, and Illumina MiSeq sequencing was carried out on samples collected from three acetate-fed and three glucose-fed MFCs. Samples were collected from the bioanodes, liquid, and biofilm growing on non-conductive areas of the MFCs.
