An exoelectrogenic, biofilm-forming microbial consortium was enriched in an acetate-fed microbial fuel cell (MFC) using a flow-through anode coupled to an air-cathode.
A rumen-derived microbial consortium was enriched on raw wheat straw as sole carbon source in a sequential batch-reactor (SBR) process under strict mesophilic anaerobic conditions.
The hydrocarbons-degrading microbial consortium was enriched from petrochemical industrial wastewater using a continuously stirred tank-reactor CSTR [ 14].
The anodic and cathodic compartments were inoculated with microbial consortiums previously enriched in biocathode MFCs that had been operated in fed-batch mode for over three months.
Within this engineered system, the mixed microbial consortium (MMC) becomes enriched with polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs).
Total genomic DNA was extracted from enriched microbial consortium N3 using Bacteria DNA Mini Kit (Watson Biotechnologies, Inc., China) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The microbial consortium for wastewater degradation was enriched from samples of viscose fiber wastewater collected from a chemical fiber plant in Hebei, China.
Such metabolic profile was also observed for the strains belonging to the Mx lineage enriched from a microbial consortium (Paul et al. 2012; Iino et al. 2013), including " Ca. M. alvus" (Borrel et al. 2012), even if this has to be confirmed in pure cultures.
The microbial consortium (VF) obtained from enrichment culture exhibited great potential for CODCr degradation.
