PG - 615-32 LID - 10.1007/s10532-014-9686-1 [doi] AB - Anaerobic/aerobic conditions affected bacterial community composition and the subsequent chlorophenols (CPs) degradation in biocathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Bacterial communities acclimated with either 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) or 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) under anaerobiosis can degrade the respective substrates more efficiently than the facultative aerobic bacterial communities. The anaerobic bacterial communities well developed with 2,4-DCP were then adapted to 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (2,4,6-TCP) and successfully stimulated for enhanced 2,4,6-TCP degradation and power generation. A 2,4,6-TCP degradation rate of 0.10 mol/m(3)/d and a maximum power density of 2.6 W/m(3) (11.7 A/m(3)) were achieved, 138 and 13 % improvements, respectively compared to the controls with no stimulation. Bacterial communities developed with the specific CPs under anaerobic/aerobic conditions as well as the stimulated biofilm shared some dominant genera and also exhibited great differences. These results provide the most convincing evidence to date that anaerobic/aerobic conditions affected CPs degradation with power generation from the biocathode systems, and using deliberate substrates can stimulate the microbial consortia and be potentially feasible for the selection of an appropriate microbial community for the target substrate (e.g. 2,4,6-TCP) degradation in the biocathode MFCs.
