Biohydrogen production via biocatalyzed electrolysis in acetate-fed bioelectrochemical cells and microbial community analysis 

 -  International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 33, p.5184-5192, 2008 .
<br/><br/> Hydrogen was efficiently produced via acetate oxidation using a two-chambered bioelectrochemical cell (BEC), a modified microbial fuel cell (MFC), in which a cathode was kept free of oxygen and the thermodynamic barrier overcome by augmenting the electrochemical potential achieved by bacteria with the addition of a small external voltage. The production of hydrogen gradually increased with increasing applied voltage from 0.1 to 1.0 V, reaching its maximum efficiency of 52.5
