Promotion of biological nitrogen fixation activity of an anaerobic consortium using humin as an extracellular electron mediator

Abstract Nitrogen fertiliser is manufactured using the industrial Haber–Bosch process, although it is extremely energy-consuming. One sustainable alternative technology is the electrochemical promotion of biological nitrogen fixation (BNF). This study reports the promotion of BNF activity of anaerob...
