Enrichment of electrotrophic microorganisms from contrasting shallow-sea hydrothermal environments in bioelectrochemical reactors by Antoine Carissimo, Victoria Comes, Alenica Heussner, Anne-Hélène Prime, Roy E. Price, Gaël Erauso, Pierre-Pol Liebgott, Sven Kerzenmacher, Guillaume Pillot

“…In reactors reproducing the Prony Bay hydrothermal conditions, known facultative methylotrophs, such as Sphingomonas and Methylobacterium, were dominant and appeared to consume formate (provided as carbon source) but no electrons from the cathode.ConclusionThese results provide new insights into the distribution and diversity of electrotrophs in shallow-sea hydrothermal vents and allow the identification of potential novel biocatalysts for Microbial Electrosynthesis whereby electricity and carbon dioxide are converted into value-added products.…”
