研究目的
To develop a biophotovoltaic (BPV) system based on a D-lactate mediated microbial consortium consisting of photosynthetic cyanobacteria and exoelectrogenic Shewanella for efficient and durable power output.
研究成果
The study successfully developed a robust, efficient, and durable BPV system driven by an energy carrier mediated microbial consortium, demonstrating significant advancements in the efficiency and longevity of BPV systems.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the difficulty in incorporating exoelectrogenic activity into a photosynthetic microorganism and the physiological incompatibility between consortium members. The power density is still lower than the theoretical maximum, and the system's scalability needs further optimization.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study designed a synthetic two-species microbial consortium for electricity production from light, using an engineered cyanobacterium and an engineered Shewanella. D-lactate was selected as the energy carrier.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973 was selected as the charging unit, and Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 as the discharging unit.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Dual-chamber electrochemical devices, carbon cloth as anode and cathode, Na?on 117 proton exchange membranes, and MBG11 medium were used.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The microbial consortia were constructed in temporal, spatial, and spatial-temporal separation setups to evaluate current production.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Current density and power density were calculated from voltage measurements across an external resistor. Energy conversion efficiency was calculated based on the oxidation of D-lactate.
