Bioelectricity facilitates carbon dioxide fixation by Alcaligenes faecalis ZS-1 in a biocathodic microbial fuel cell (MFC)
The CO 2 fixation mechanism by Alcaligenes faecalis ZS-1 in a biocathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) was investigated. The closed-circuit MFC (CM) exhibited a significantly higher CO 2 fixation rate (10.7%) compared to the open-circuit MFC (OC) (2.0%), indicating that bioelectricity enhances CO 2 capture efficiency. During the inward extracellular electron transfer (EET) process, riboflavin concentration increased in the supernatant while cytochrome levels decreased. Genome sequencing revealed diverse metabolic pathways for CO 2 fixation in strain ZS-1, with potential dominance of rTCA and C4 pathways under electrotrophic conditions as evidenced by significant upregulation of the ppc gene. Differential metabolite analysis using LC-MS demonstrated that CM promoted upregulation of various lipid metabolites. These findings collectively highlight that ZS-1 simultaneously generated electricity and fixed CO 2 and that the ppc associated with bioelectricity played a critical role in CO 2 capture. In conclusion, bioelectricity resulted in a significant enhancement in the efficiency of CO 2 fixation and lipid production.
