    Abstract:
    Microbial fuel cell (MFC) exhibits huge potentials in disposing wastewater and extra energy consumption. Exploring useful microorganisms for MFC is the crucial section. Herein, the electrochemical mechanism of extracellular anaerobic respiration in MFC inoculated with gram-positive Rhodococcus pyridinivorans HR-1, was first revealed. The MFC exhibited rapid recovery of currents on anode, and could recover to maximum output within one hour, with redox peaks near -0.38 and -0.18 V through electron transfer between the biofilm and anode. When the biofilm-based pathway was blocked by wrapping the anode with Millipore filter membrane, HR-1 inoculated MFC could still generate electricity within a longer recovery period (∼35 h) during anolyte exchange. This was proposed as a self-secreted electron shuttle pathway for electron transfer in R. pyridinivorans HR-1. Cyclic voltammetry analysis revealed that the biofilm-based and self-secreted electron shuttle-based pathways co-existed in R. pyridinivorans HR-1 inoculated MFC, which could play synergistic roles in electricity generation.
