摘要
A two-chamber microbial fuel cell(MFC)with algal-film cathode was constructed.It showed good electric-generating performance with three electric-generating stages:start-up,development,and stable.An average output voltage reached~0.412 V during the stable period.A maximum power density during continuous operation was 19.76 mW/m^(2).Bacterial samples were collected from the anode in the three stages(A1,A2,and A3),and their community structure and diversity were analyzed using Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology.A total of 4238 operational taxonomic units were identified based on the number of taxa.At the phylum level,Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes played a dominant role in the three stages and increased significantly during electricity generation.Compared with A1,the relative abundances of Proteobacteria in A2 and A3 increased by 23.30%and 32.06%,respectively,whereas those of Bacteroidetes in A2 and A3 increased by 5.56%and 14.50%,respectively.At the genus level,there were differences in the composition of bacterial communities among the three stages.Acinetobacter and Chlorobium became the dominant genera in A2,replacing Nitrospira and norank_f__Saprospiraceae in A1,and Sphingobacterium and Ochrobactrum became the dominant genera in A3.According to the sample cluster and principal component analyses,A1 was clustered into one class,and A2 and A3 were clustered into a second class.This work revealed bacterial community succession at the anode of an algal-film cathode MFC during the electricity generation process,which provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent promotion of electricity generation by algal-film cathode MFCs.
