Abstract

Key findings

  • Bacteroides sp. W7 was isolated from the anode suspension of a MEC and identified as a Fe(III)-reducing fermentative bacterium.
  • The bacterium was found to reduce Fe(III) to Fe(II) at a rate of 1.2 mmol/L/h, indicating its potential for bioremediation.
  • The MEC system was found to be a suitable environment for the isolation and cultivation of Bacteroides sp. W7.
