Microbiome analysis of cathode biofilms from BES. biofilm metagenome

This study aims to evaluate nitrogen dynamics and microbial community structure in a two-chamber microbial fuel cell operating with an intermittently aerated cathode, and its feasibility as a treatment for high strength wastewater. This work focuses on three main goals: i) to study nitrogen dynamics in a MFC harbouring active microbial biomass both in the anode and cathode chambers; ii) to enhance the nitrification-denitrification process at the cathode chamber, and iii) to assess the microbial community enriched both in the cathode compartment and in the anode.
