Abstract

Key findings

  • The biofilm metagenome of the MFCs contains a diverse range of bacteria that contribute to the degradation of propanethiol.
  • The substrate utilization and electron transfer mechanisms in the MFCs are influenced by the biofilm metagenomic characteristics.
  • The high coulombic efficiency achieved in the MFCs is attributed to the synergistic interactions between the bacteria and the electrode materials.
