Biofilm samples Metagenome

The objectives of the present study, were i) to evaluate the performance of two MFCs operating with different inocula (anaerobic inoculum and MFC inoculum), and different substrates types, synthetic wastewater and liquid fraction of pig slurry; ii) to study the evolution over time of the microbial community developed on the anodic chamber under these different operational conditions; and iii) to evaluate the effect of 2-bromoethanesulfonate on the microbial community established in the anodic biofilm aiming to find out putative exoelectrogenic microorganisms hampered by active methanogenic microbial communities.
