Abstract
Microalgae contained abundant value compositions (e.g., antioxidant polyphenolics and flavonoids, proteins) and owned significant bioelectrochemical characteristics for sustainable applications. This study tended to decipher strategy to maximize generation of value-added products through testing of electrochemical capabilities (e.g., total polyphenolics content, DPPH antioxidant activities, cyclic voltammetry). Although extracellular metabolites of microalgae might express significant electrochemical activity as electron shuttles, such metabolites apparently still inhibited microbial activities, leading to significant reduction of power generation in microbial fuel cells with metabolite supplementation. This result clearly explained why slow-growing microalgae could propagate ubiquitously even microbes were grown in much faster rates. That is, combined interactions of microalgae-bacteria co-cultures evidently provided ecologically favorable conditions for microalgal persistence due to inhibitory metabolites expressed by microalgae in co-cultures.
