Abstract

Key findings

  • Shifts in bacterial populations were observed in response to changes in substrate and operating conditions.
  • The microbial fuel cells showed improved performance when fed with pig slurry compared to synthetic wastewater.
  • The dominant bacterial populations in the anode and cathode compartments were different, indicating distinct microbial communities.
