By placing the anode of a sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC) in the rhizosphere of a rice plant, root-excreted rhizodeposits can be microbially oxidized with concomitant current generation. Here, various molecular techniques were used to characterize the composition of bacterial and archaeal communities on such anodes, as influenced by electrical circuitry, sediment matrix, and the presence of plants. Closed-circuit anodes in potting soil were enriched with Desulfobulbus-like species, members of the family Geobacteraceae, and as yet uncultured representatives of the domain Archaea.
将沉淀微生物燃料电池 (SMFC) 的阳极置于水稻植物的根际,可通过微生物氧化根系分泌物并同时产生电流。在此,通过各种分子技术来描述受电路、沉淀基质和植物存在影响的阳极上细菌和古菌群落的组成。盆栽土壤中的闭路阳极富集了类似于脱硫杆菌的物种、地杆菌科的成员以及尚未培养的古菌域的代表。
