The presence of hydrogenotrophic methanogens in the inoculum improves methane gas production in microbial electrolysis cells
High current densities in microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) result from the predominance of various Geobacter species on the anode. MECs inoculated from different sources often converge in terms of current production and predominance of Geobacter species despite variability in the inoculum communi...
