Abstract

Key findings

  • The biosensor showed a significant increase in power output in response to the biodegradation of the substrate.
  • The sensor's performance was affected by the type and concentration of bacteria used in the system.
  • The results suggest that the biosensor can be used to monitor the anaerobic biodegradation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) in real-time.
