Abstract

Key findings

  • The microbial community structure was influenced by the presence of plant species, with certain species promoting electricity production.
  • The dominant microbial populations were affiliated with the genera Geobacter and Shewanella, which are known for their ability to produce electricity.
  • The microbial community structure and electricity production were affected by the operating conditions, including pH and temperature.
