Min, Hua-Zhong Sun, Tong, Sheng-Ping Guo, Yong-Zhen, Chen Feng Zhang. . . electricity and MedlinePlus simultaneous removal of sulfur can be achieved in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). When collecting electricity from the oxidation of sulfur in the MFC, microbial communities are more involved. It is necessary to elucidate the microbial communities and their role in the conversion of sulfur and the production of electricity. In this work, we have built an MFC to enrich a microbial consortium, which could harvest electricity from the oxidation of sulfides. electrochemical analysis demonstrated that microbial catalysis has been involved in the production of electricity to power sulfide MFC. The anode attached and planktonic communities can accomplish independently and catalyzes synergistic interactions occurred when the two communities have worked. . .
