Chu N, Jiang Y, Zhang L, Zeng RJ, Li D. Biocathode prepared at low anodic potentials achieved a higher response for water biotoxicity monitoring after polarity reversal. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 847:157553. [PMID: 35878860 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.157553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 07/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Microbial electrochemical sensors equipped with biocathode sensing elements have attracted a growing interest, but their startup and recovery properties remain unclear. In this study, the approach of polarity reversal was applied for the biocathode sensing element fabrication and biosensor recovery. The stimulating/suppressing effect of formaldehyde was determined by the anode potential before polarity reversal as well as the increased trials of toxic exposure. Increasing anode potential from -0.3 V to +0.3 V before polarity reversal, the baseline electric signal was changed from -0.028 ± 0.001 mA to -0.005 ± 0.003 mA, while the maximum normalized electrical signal (NES) was increased from 1.1 ± 0.1 to 4.1 ± 1.9, and thus a general downtrend was observed for Response as a newly induced indicator. Polarity reversal failed to recover the electroactivity of these poisoned bioelectrodes. This study demonstrated that electrode potential was critical when using the approach of polarity reversal to construct the biocathode sensing element, and revealed an urgent need for strategies toward high recoverability of such biosensors.

Qiu S, Wang L, Zhang Y, Yu Y. Microbial Fuel Cell-Based Biosensor for Simultaneous Test of Sodium Acetate and Glucose in a Mixed Solution. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:12297. [PMID: 36231599 PMCID: PMC9566141 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph191912297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/02/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Most microbial fuel cell (MFC) sensors only focus on the detection of mixed solutions with respect to the chemical oxygen demand (COD) or toxicity; however, the concentrations of the individual analytes in a mixed solution have rarely been studied. Herein, we developed two types of MFC sensors, adapted with sodium acetate (MFC-A) and glucose (MFC-B) as organic substrates in the startup period. An evident difference in the sensor sensitivities (the slope value of the linear-regression curve) was observed between MFC-A and MFC-B. MFC-A exhibited a superior performance compared with MFC-B in the detection of sodium acetate (4868.9 vs. 2202 mV/(g/L), respectively) and glucose (3895.5 vs. 3192.9 mV/(g/L), respectively). To further compare these two MFC sensors, the electrochemical performances were evaluated, and MFC-A exhibited a higher output voltage and power density (593.76 mV and 129.81 ± 4.10 mW/m2, respectively) than MFC-B (484.08 mV and 116.21 ± 1.81 mW/m2, respectively). Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and microbial-community analysis were also performed, and the results showed a richer anode biomass of MFC-A in comparison with MFC-B. By utilizing the different sensitivities of the two MFC sensors towards sodium acetate and glucose, we proposed and verified a novel method for a simultaneous test on the individual concentrations of sodium acetate and glucose in a mixed solution. Linear equations of the two variables (concentrations of sodium acetate and glucose) were formulated. The linear equations were solved according to the output voltages of the two MFC sensors, and the solutions showed a satisfactory accuracy with regard to sodium acetate and glucose (relative error less than 20%).

Abstract
The determination of metal ions is important for nutritional and toxicological assessment. Atomic spectrometric techniques are highly efficient for the determination of these species, but the high costs of acquisition and maintenance hinder the application of these techniques. Inexpensive alternatives for metallic element determination are based on dedicated biosensors. These devices mimic biological systems and convert biochemical processes into physical outputs and can be used for the sensitive and selective determination of chemical species such as cations. In this work, an overview of the proposed biosensors for metal ions determination was carried out considering the last 15 years of publications. Statistical data on the applications, response mechanisms, instrumentation designs, applications of nanomaterials, and multielement analysis are herein discussed.

A copper-specific microbial fuel cell biosensor based on riboflavin biosynthesis of engineered Escherichia coli. Biotechnol Bioeng 2020; 118:210-222. [PMID: 32915455 DOI: 10.1002/bit.27563] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Revised: 09/02/2020] [Accepted: 09/07/2020] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
Copper pollution poses a serious threat to the aquatic environment; however, in situ analytical methods for copper monitoring are still scarce. In the current study, Escherichia coli Rosetta was genetically modified to express OprF and ribB with promoter Pt7 and PcusC , respectively, which could synthesize porin and senses Cu2+ to produce riboflavin. The cell membrane permeability of this engineered strain was increased and its riboflavin production (1.45-3.56 μM) was positively correlated to Cu2+ (0-0.5 mM). The biosynthetic strain was then employed in microbial fuel cell (MFC) based biosensor. Under optimal operating parameters of pH 7.1 and 37°C, the maximum voltage (248, 295, 333, 352, and 407 mV) of the constructed MFC biosensor showed a linear correlation with Cu2+ concentration (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 mM, respectively; R2 = 0.977). The continuous mode testing demonstrated that the MFC biosensor specifically senses Cu2+ with calculated detection limit of 28 μM, which conforms to the common Cu2+ safety standard (32 μM). The results obtained with the developed biosensor system were consistent with the existing analytical methods such as colorimetry, flame atomic absorption spectrometry, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. In conclusion, this MFC-based biosensor overcomes the signal conversion and transmission problems of conventional approaches, providing a fast and economic analytical alternative for in situ monitoring of Cu2+ in water.

Abstract
Development of economical and environment-friendly Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) technology should be associated with waste management. However, current knowledge regarding microbiological bases of electricity production from complex waste substrates is insufficient. In the following study, microbial composition and electricity generation were investigated in MFCs powered with waste volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from anaerobic digestion of primary sludge. Two anode sizes were tested, resulting in organic loading rates (OLRs) of 69.12 and 36.21 mg chemical oxygen demand (COD)/(g MLSS∙d) in MFC1 and MFC2, respectively. Time of MFC operation affected the microbial structure and the use of waste VFAs promoted microbial diversity. High abundance of Deftia sp. and Methanobacterium sp. characterized start-up period in MFCs. During stable operation, higher OLR in MFC1 favored growth of exoelectrogens from Rhodopseudomonas sp. (13.2%) resulting in a higher and more stable electricity production in comparison with MFC2. At a lower OLR in MFC2, the percentage of exoelectrogens in biomass decreased, while the abundance of genera Leucobacter, Frigoribacterium and Phenylobacterium increased. In turn, this efficiently decomposed complex organic substances, favoring high and stable COD removal (over 85%). Independent of the anode size, Clostridium sp. and exoelectrogens belonging to genera Desulfobulbus and Acinetobacter were abundant in MFCs powered with waste VFAs.

Abstract
Existing at the interface of biology and electronics, living cells have been in use as biorecognition elements (bioreceptors) in biosensors since the early 1970s. They are an interesting choice of bioreceptors as they allow flexibility in determining the sensing strategy, are cheaper than purified enzymes and antibodies and make the fabrication relatively simple and cost-effective. And with advances in the field of synthetic biology, microfluidics and lithography, many exciting developments have been made in the design of cell-based biosensors in the last about five years. 3D cell culture systems integrated with electrodes are now providing new insights into disease pathogenesis and physiology, while cardiomyocyte-integrated microelectrode array (MEA) technology is set to be standardized for the assessment of drug-induced cardiac toxicity. From cell microarrays for high-throughput applications to plasmonic devices for anti-microbial susceptibility testing and advent of microbial fuel cell biosensors, cell-based biosensors have evolved from being mere tools for detection of specific analytes to multi-parametric devices for real time monitoring and assessment. However, despite these advancements, challenges such as regeneration and storage life, heterogeneity in cell populations, high interference and high costs due to accessory instrumentation need to be addressed before the full potential of cell-based biosensors can be realized at a larger scale. This review summarizes results of the studies that have been conducted in the last five years toward the fabrication of cell-based biosensors for different applications with a comprehensive discussion on the challenges, future trends, and potential inputs needed for improving them.

Abstract
Traditional microbial fuel cell based biosensor (MFC-Biosensor) utilizes bioanode as sensing element and delivers high sensitivity for single toxic shock but it fails to alert the combined shock of organic matter (OM)/toxic agent (TA). To address this limitation, this study developed a sequential flowing membrane-less MFC based biosensor (SMFC-Biosensor) using both bioanode and biocathode for toxicity monitoring. Results demonstrated the shocks of 1.5 mg/L Hg2+, 1.0 mg/L avermectin and 1.0 mg/L chlortetracycline hydrochloride to SMFC-Biosensor led to inhibition ratios of 36%, 15% and 9%, which were over twice higher than those of bioanode-based and biocathode-based MFC-Biosensors. The viabilities of anodic and cathodic biofilms were both inhibited by the toxic shock. Besides, the excessive organic matters caused a decay in the SMFC-Biosensor current and consequently the OM/TA combined shock could be successfully monitored. This study for the first time testified the feasibility of simultaneously using bioanode and biocathode as sensing elements for toxicity monitoring.

Abstract
Indirect detection and quantification of the neomycin sulfate antibiotic was accomplished in microbial fuel cells. Performance of the microbial fuel cells was examined on the basis of the following parameters; voltage generation, power density, current density and coulombic efficiencies. Removal of neomycin sulfate was monitored using LC-MS/MS in parallel with chemical oxygen demand and total carbohydrate removal. While neomycin sulfate was partially degraded, microbial fuel cell performance appeared to be affected and eventually inhibited by neomycin sulfate on a concentration-based fashion. In order to further examine the neomycin sulfate bio-sensing activity of the microbial fuel cell, a computational chemistry approach was used to obtain the information about the highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy values of outer electron orbitals, their distribution, and ionization potentials (IPs). The results showed that electroactive bio-film-based MFCs can be used for sensitive detection of neomycin sulfate found in wastewaters.

Abstract
Groundwater contamination is a major issue for human health, due to its largely diffused exploitation for water supply. Several pollutants have been detected in groundwater; amongst them arsenic, cadmium, chromium, vanadium, and perchlorate. Various technologies have been applied for groundwater remediation, involving physical, chemical, and biological processes. Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) have emerged over the last 15 years as an alternative to conventional treatments for a wide variety of wastewater, and have been proposed as a feasible option for groundwater remediation due to the nature of the technology: the presence of two different redox environments, the use of electrodes as virtually inexhaustible electron acceptor/donor (anode and cathode, respectively), and the possibility of microbial catalysis enhance their possibility to achieve complete remediation of contaminants, even in combination. Arsenic and organic matter can be oxidized at the bioanode, while vanadium, perchlorate, chromium, and cadmium can be reduced at the cathode, which can be biotic or abiotic. Additionally, BES has been shown to produce bioenergy while performing organic contaminants removal, lowering the overall energy balance. This review examines the application of BES for groundwater remediation of arsenic, cadmium, chromium, vanadium, and perchlorate, focusing also on the perspectives of the technology in the groundwater treatment field.
