We demonstrate that the coulombic efficiency (CE)of a microbial electrolytic cell (MEC)fueled with a fermentable substrate, ethanol, depended on the interactions among anode respiring bacteria (ARB)and other groups of micro-organisms, particularly fermenters and methanogens. When we allowed methanogenesis, we obtained a CE of 60
