Bioelectrochemical methane oxidation catalysed by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) is constrained by limited methane bioavailability as well as by slow kinetics of extracellular electron transfer (EET) of ANME. In this study, we tested a combination of two strategies to improve the performance of methane-driven bioelectrochemical systems that includes (1) the use of hollow fibre membranes (HFMs) for efficient methane delivery to the ANME organisms and (2) the amendment of ferricyanide, an effective soluble redox mediator, to the liquid medium to enable electrochemical bridging between the ANME organisms and the anode, as well as to promote EET kinetics of ANME.

Chlorinated solvents still represent an environmental concern that requires sustainable and innovative bioremediation strategies. This study describes the microbiome composition of a novel bioelectrochemical system (BES) based on sequential reductive/oxidative dechlorination for complete perchloroethylene (PCE) removal occurring in two separate but sequential chambers. The BES has been tested under various feeding compositions [i.e., anaerobic mineral medium (MM), synthetic groundwater (SG), and real groundwater (RG)] differing in presence of sulfate, nitrate, and iron (III). In addition, the main biomarkers of the dechlorination process have been monitored in the system under various conditions. Among them, Dehalococcoides mccartyi 16S rRNA and reductive dehalogenase genes ( tceA , bvcA , and vcrA ) involved in anaerobic dechlorination have been quantified. The etnE and etnC genes involved in aerobic dechlorination have also been quantified. The feeding composition affected the microbiome, in particular when the BES was fed with RG. Sulfuricurvum , enriched in the reductive compartment, operated with MM and SG, suggesting complex interactions in the sulfur cycle mostly including sulfur oxidation occurring at the anodic counter electrode (MM) or coupled to nitrate reduction (SG). Moreover, the known Mycobacterium responsible for natural attenuation of VC by aerobic degradation was found abundant in the oxidative compartment fed with RG, which was in line with the high VC removal observed (92 ± 2%). D. mccartyi was observed in all the tested conditions ranging from 8.78E + 06 (with RG) to 2.35E + 07 (with MM) 16S rRNA gene copies/L. tceA was found as the most abundant reductive dehalogenase gene in all the conditions explored (up to 2.46 E + 07 gene copies/L in MM). The microbiome dynamics and the occurrence of biomarkers of dechlorination, along with the kinetic performance of the system under various feeding conditions, suggested promising implications for the scale-up of the BES, which couples reductive with oxidative dechlorination to ensure the complete removal of highly chlorinated ethylene and mobile low-chlorinated by-products.

The great potential of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) in pollution control combined with energy recovery has attracted increasing attention. Classified by their functions in the BES, microorganisms including degraders, electricigens, and element cycle-related microbes play key roles in pollutant degradation and electricity generation, and the functions of these microbes are affected by various environmental and operating conditions. This review systematically summarizes the effects of crucial conditions on the efficiency of the process of contaminant removal combined with electricity generation in BESs, with particular focus on the pH, temperature, conductivity, substrates, inoculums, magnetic field and reactor design parameters, such as architecture, electrode material, and electrode potential. The aim of this review is to help reveal the microbial functions during the bioelectrochemical remediation of environmental media and to optimize the system by determining the appropriate conditions for functional microorganisms, thus better promoting the transition of BESs from the laboratory to actual applications.
