Enrichments initiated with a marine sediment inoculum, with elemental sulfur as the electron donor and a positively poised (+300 mV versus Ag/AgCl) anode as the electron acceptor, yielded an anode biofilm with a diversity of micro-organisms, including Thiobacillus, Sulfurimonas, Pseudomonas, Clostridium and Desulfuromonas species. Further enrichment of the anode biofilm inoculum in medium with elemental sulfur as the electron donor and Fe(III) oxide as the electron acceptor, followed by isolation in solidified sulfur/Fe(III) medium yielded a strain of Desulfuromonas, designated strain TZ1. Strain TZ1 effectively oxidized elemental sulfur to sulfate with an anode serving as the sole electron acceptor, at rates faster than Desulfobulbus propionicus, the only other organism in pure culture previously shown to oxidize S° with current production. The abundance of Desulfuromonas species enriched on the anodes of marine benthic fuel cells has previously been interpreted as acetate oxidation driving current production, but the results presented here suggest that sulfur-driven current production is a likely alternative.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pt 1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24169815?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nie, Huarong</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Tian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cui, Mengmeng</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lu, Haiyun</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lovley, Derek R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russell, Thomas P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Improved cathode for high efficient microbial-catalyzed reduction in microbial electrosynthesis cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phys Chem Chem Phys</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phys Chem Chem Phys</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biocatalysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bioelectric Energy Sources</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biofilms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbon Dioxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrochemical Techniques</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrodes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Graphite</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanowires</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nickel</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidation-Reduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veillonellaceae</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013 Sep 14</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14290-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Microbial electrosynthesis cells (MECs) are devices wherein microorganisms can electrochemically interact with electrodes, directly donating or accepting electrons from electrode surfaces. Here, we developed a novel cathode by using nickel nanowires anchored to graphite for the improvement of microbial-catalyzed reduction in MEC cathode chamber. This porous nickel-nanowire-network-coated graphite electrode increased the interfacial area and interfacial interactions between the cathode surface and the microbial biofilm. A 2.3 fold increase in bio-reduction rate over the untreated graphite was observed. Around 282 mM day(-1) m(-2) of acetate resulting from the bio-reduction of carbon dioxide by Sporomusa was produced with 82 ± 14% of the electrons consumed being recovered in acetate.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23881181?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
