Anodic and cathodic microbial communities in single chamber microbial fuel cells

- Microbial communities developed in an SCMFC inoculated with biogas digestate.
- Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene allowed the description of the communities.
- The anodic community was dominated by Fe(III) reducers belonging to Geovibrio genus.
- On the cathode Nitrincola genus dominated the microbial community.
- Results suggest that an oxygen gradient influenced the composition of the biofilm.
