Hyperthermiphile biofilms of Thermotoga neapolitana on different materials and electrostimulated: SEM micrographs and chemical data of the glucose fermentation in electrochemical reactors.

ABSTRACT: Hyperthermophile bacteria were seldom investigated in bioelectrochemical systems although they allow more effective control of the inoculum in comparison with mesophilic bacteria. Biofilm formed in hyperthermophilic conditions (>60 °C) also rarely was documented (d'Ippolito et al., 2020; Belkin et al., 1986, Pysz et al., 2004). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) micrographs documenting biofilms formed by the Hyperthermophile bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana on different solid materials (ceramic carrier, stainless steel mesh, carbon felt, carbon paper, expanse graphite, and carbon cloth) are shown in this report. Also, micrographs of the biofilm formed on electrodes of carbon cloth under a dynamic polarization oscillating around ±1 V (±0.8 V and ±1.2 V) are reported. Two procedures o
