Abstract

Key findings

  • Immobilized bacteria in MFCs showed 25% higher denitrification efficiency compared to free-moving bacteria.
  • The immobilization of bacteria increased the substrate utilization rate by 15%.
  • The study suggests that immobilized bacteria can be used to improve the efficiency of denitrification in MFCs.
