Article Synopsis
- Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) converts electrical energy into valuable chemicals like fuels, necessitating enhancements in production efficiency for commercial success.
- A compact plate reactor design with specialized electrodes significantly boosted the production rates of methane and acetic acid, achieving impressive output levels.
- Continuous MES using the bacterium Thermoanaerobacter kivui yielded noteworthy efficiencies and production rates, highlighting the potential of MES to compete with traditional biotechnological methods.
Optical density (OD) measurement is the gold standard to estimate microbial cell density in aqueous systems. Recording microbial growth curves is essential to assess substrate utilization, gauge sensitivity to inhibitors or toxins, or determine the perfect sampling point. Manual sampling for cuvette-photometer-based measurements can cause disturbances and impact growth, especially for strictly anaerobic or thermophilic microbes.
