Turbidity was determined as the absorbance at 650 nm by a UNICAM 8625 UV/VIS spectrometer and the conductivity by a CRISON MicroCM 2100 conductometer. Chloride, sulfate, nitrate and phosphate anions were quantified by a Dionex ICS-2000 ionic chromatograph. The total suspended solids (TSS) were determined according to the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater [21 ]. Ammonia concentration and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were analyzed by using commercial kits LCK114 or LCK314, respectively (Hach Lange, Germany). Glucose concentration was measured with a YSI 2700 SELECT enzymatic analyzer (Yellow Spring Instruments). Laccase activity was measured per duplicate using a modified version of the method for the determination of manganese peroxidase where 2,6-dimetoxyphenol (DMP) is oxidized by laccase in the absence of a cofactor [22 ]. Activity units per liter (U·L− 1) are defined as the micromoles per liter of DMP oxidized per minute. The molar extinction coefficient of DMP was 24.8 mM− 1·cm− 1 [23 (link)].

Biofilm Characterization and Quantification

After dismantling the cell, the biofilm was first gently rinsed with a 100 mm phosphate buffer solution to remove residual soluble organics, chloride, and ammonium while preventing acute osmotic stress. The biofilm was then mechanically detached from the glass electrode by using a conventional cell scraper. The wet biomass pellet weight was measured and then suspended with the use of vortex and sonication in a defined volume (10 mL of 100 mm phosphate buffer solution). The resulting homogenized samples were analyzed for COD and total nitrogen content by using photometric test kits (Hach‐Lange LCK 114 and 138, respectively). Assuming a volumetric density of 1 g mL−1 for wet biomass, the absolute amounts of COD and total N for each electrode were then calculated.

The absorbance at 650 nm was determined by a UNICAM 8625 UV/VIS spectrometer, and the conductivity was monitored by a CRISON MicroCM 2100 conductometer. The total suspended solids (TSS) and volatile suspended solids (VSS) were measured according to the standard methods 2540 D and 2540 E, respectively [38] . The total organic carbon (TOC) was determined using an Analytik Jena multi N/C 2100S/1 analyzer. The HPC results were reported as the logarithm of colony-forming units (CFU) per mL [lg (CFU mL -1 )] using the spread-plate method with a plate count agar (PCA) following the standard method 9215 [38] . The N-NH4 + concentration and the COD were analyzed using commercial kits LCK 303 and LCK 314 or LCK 114, respectively (Hach Lange, Germany). Chloride, sulfate, nitrite, and nitrate anions were measured by ion chromatography using a Dionex ICS-2000 equipped with Dionex IonPac AS18-HC column (250 mm x 4 mm) which was eluted at 1 mL min -1 with a 13 mM KOH aqueous solution.

A pH-meter (model GLP+21 from Crison, Barcelona, Spain) and an electrical conductivity-meter (model GLP31+ from Crison, Barcelona, Spain) were used to measure the pH and conductivity of the fermentation brine samples treated by membrane processes. Also, two conductivity-meters, model CDH-SD1 from Omega Engineering (Norwalk, CT, USA), were used to measure and register feed and draw solution conductivities.
In order to measure the soluble COD, the samples were previously filtered through a 0.45 µm polytetrafluoroethylene filter. The COD of the filtered samples was determined by means of LCK 114 and LCK 414 kits (Hach Lange, Düsseldorf, Germany). The total nitrogen and the total phosphorous content of the samples were determined with LCK338 and LCK348 kits (Hach Lange, Düsseldorf, Germany), respectively. The total phenolic compounds concentration (expressed in milligrams of tyrosol equivalents per liter; mg tyrosol eq·L−1) was determined by means of the Folin–Ciocalteu method [15 (link)]. The color of the samples was calculated as the difference between the sample absorbance at 440 and 700 nm according to De Castro and Brenes [16 (link)]. The absorbance was measured by means of a DR600 spectrophotometer (Hach Lange, Düsseldorf, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
