A critical review on an advanced bio-electrochemical system for carbon dioxide sequestration and wastewater treatment

2021, Biomass and BioenergyCitation Excerpt :The rhizosphere is considered the ideal site to modify microbial populations for various applications in the soil [119]. According to Moore et al. [120], the rhizosphere is the neighbouring region around the roots and the root surface that extends to approximately 4 mm where the electrodes are installed during the operation of the bioelectrochemical system, i.e., P-MFC. The anodes of the P-MFCs present a great diversity of bacterial genera that depend exclusively on the nature of the inoculum, the fuel, and also on the type of P-MFC used [121,122].
An overview of plant microbial fuel cells (PMFCs): Configurations and applications
2019, Renewable and Sustainable Energy ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Nonetheless, rice cultivars are the most preferred plant species with such merits as easy access, adequate hardiness and flexibilities to grow under different conditions within various ecological zones. The rhizosphere is the immediate region around the roots and the root surface extending to about 4 mm where electrodes are inserted during PMFC operation [100]. It supports a wide range of microbes, microbial activities and provides surfaces for bacterial attachment due to the release of large amounts of rhizodeposits by the plant roots [101,102].
Long-term conditioning of soil by plantation eucalypts and pines does not affect growth of the native jarrah tree
2015, Forest Ecology and ManagementCitation Excerpt :Generally, plant species that produce labile litter (i.e. low C:N ratio) such as legumes, promote a microbial community dominated by bacteria and their consumers (i.e. protozoa, bacterial-feeding nematodes). In contrast, plant species that produce recalcitrant litter (i.e. high C:N ratio) such as pines and eucalypts promote a microbial community dominated by fungi and their consumers (i.e. fungal-feeding nematodes, collembolans, oribatid mites; Moore and Hunt, 1988; Scheu et al., 2005; Moore et al., 2007; Holtkamp et al., 2008; Witt and Setälä, 2010). Thus, in this manner soil conditioning occurs via differences in leaf litter quality.
