Analysis of cathodic bacterial communities reveals high diversity and potential new electroactive oxygen reducing microbes affiliated to Deinococci
L'analyse de communautés bactériennes cathodiques révèle une grande diversité taxonomique et la présence d'une nouvelle famille de Deinococci potentiellement électroactifs reduisant le dioxygène
Résumé
Here we analysed the bacterial diversity of six oxygen reducing biocathodes formed from aerated sludges at different voltages. Pyrosequencing results show unexpectedly high bacterial diversity in cathodic biofilms. Some of the most electroactive bacterial communities are dominated by a new lineage belonging to Deinococci.
