Hydrogen Production by Geobacter Species and a Mixed Consortium in a Microbial Electrolysis Cell

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 75(24), 7579–7587.

By: D. Call*, R. Wagner* & B. Logan *

MeSH headings : Bacteria / metabolism; Bioelectric Energy Sources; Electrolysis; Geobacter / metabolism; Hydrogen / metabolism
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Geobacter species are capable of obtaining similar hydrogen production rates and energy recoveries as mixed cultures in an MEC and that high coulombic efficiencies in mixed culture MECs can be attributed in part to the recycling of hydrogen into current.
