Abstract
Key findings
- Electricity generation in the MFC increased with the presence of sulfide and nitrate, indicating a synergistic effect.
- The microbial community in the MFC was dominated by Geobacter and Shewanella species, which are known for their ability to generate electricity.
- The presence of electricity in the MFC led to a significant reduction in sulfide and nitrate concentrations, suggesting a potential application for wastewater treatment.
