| Abstract | Microbial electrochemical technologies have been extensively employed for phenol removal. Yet, previous research has yielded inconsistent results, leaving uncertainties regarding the feasibility of phenol degradation under strictly anaerobic conditions using anodes as sole terminal electron acceptors. In this study, we employed high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to investigate the anaerobic phenol degradation pathway. Our findings provide robust evidence for the purely anaerobic degradation of phenol, as we identified benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-benzoic acid, glutaric acid, and other metabolites of this pathway. Notably, no typical intermediates of the aerobic phenol degradation pathway were detected. One-chamber reactors (+0.4 V vs. SHE) exhibited a phenol removal rate of 3.5 ± 0.2 mg L−1 d−1, while two-chamber reactors showed 3.6 ± 0.1 and 2.6 ± 0.9 mg L−1 d−1 at anode potentials of +0.4 and + 0.2 V, respectively. Our results also suggest that the reactor configuration certainly influenced the microbial community, presumably leading to different ratios of phenol consumers and microorganisms feeding on degradation products. |
