Abstract The combination of anaerobic digestion (AD) and microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) offers different opportunities to increase the efficiency and sustainability of AD processes. However, methanogenic archaea and/or particles may partially hinder combining MET and AD processes. Furthermore, it is unclear if the applied anode potential affects the activity and efficiency of electroactive microorganisms in AD-MET combinations as it is described for more controlled experimental conditions. In this study, we confirm that 6-week-old Geobacter spp. dominated biofilms are by far more active and stable in AD-effluents than 3-week-old Geobacter spp. dominated biofilms. Furthermore, we show that the biofilms are twice as active at −0.2 V compared to 0.4 V, even under challenging conditions occurring in AD-MET systems. Paired-end amplicon sequencing at the DNA level using 16S-rRNA and mcrA gene shows that hydrogenotrophic methanogens incorporate into biofilms immersed in AD-effluent without any negative effect on biofilm stability and electrochemical activity.
