3 Introduction Selected Furanic and Phenolic Compounds Furanic Compounds Phenolic Compounds (FF) (HMF) (SA) (VA) (HBA) Lignocellulosic biomass Cellulose Sugar monomers Hemicellulose Lignin Phenolic compounds Furanic compounds Commonly found in biomass-derived streams (hydrolysates and pyrolysates) Inhibitory components in hydrolysates for dark fermentation FF and HMF are predominant furan derivatives from biomass carbohydrates SA, VA and HBA represent major lignin units (syringyl, guaiacyl, p-hydroxyphenyl) Klinke et al., Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol., 2004; Monlau et al., Biotechnol. Adv., 2014; Liu et al., Bioresour. Technol.,

Biotechnol., 2016; Torres et al., FEMS Microbiol. Rev.,
5 Introduction Specific Objective Elucidate the processes and electron equivalents flow during the conversion of the two furanic (FF, HMF) and three phenolic (SA, VA, and HBA) compounds in a MEC bioanode Assessment of abiotic processes Quantification of electron equivalents flow 5
6 Possible Processes in Bioanode 1. Abiotic anode 3. Active bioanode 2. Non active bioanode Non active Adsorption Electrochemical reaction Electrochemical reaction Biofilm Parent compounds Transformation products Active Active Microbial reaction (electrodedependent) Microbial reaction (electrodeindependent) 6
7 Possible Processes in Bioanode 1. Abiotic anode Adsorption (abiotic electrode) No, verified in serum bottle Yes (demonstrated in the abiotic control) ~ 20% of phenolic, more for furanic compounds Negligible current p 2. Non active bioanode Non active Negligible (abiotic electrode) Current (ma) 20 Cyclic A voltammetry (CV) Potential (V, vs. Ag/AgCl) Non active bioanode, (i.e., not fed), w/o compounds Non active bioanode, immediately upon compounds addition Active bioanode, after 1 d of incubation with the compounds 7
8 Possible Processes in Bioanode 3. Active bioanode Active (microbial, electrodeindependent) Active (microbial, electrodedependent) Active Parent compounds Products Concentration (mg/l) Open circuit Parent compounds Acetate Closed circuit Current Time (d) Current (ma) Transformation of the furanic and phenolic compounds was primarily due to microbial activity Two sub-steps: fermentation and exoelectrogenesis 8
9 Biotransformation Pathways Summary Compound Class Common reactions Aromatic ring cleavage Fermentative Transformation extent Number of O CH 3 Acetate production Exoelectrogenic capacity Possible ring cleavage pathway Syringyl Y High 2 High High Phloroglucinol Demethylation Guaiacyl ( O CH 3 ) Decarboxylation N Low 1 Low Low ( COOH) CoA addition p hydroxyl N Low 0 None detected Very low CoA addition The number and position of OH and O CH 3 substituents make a great difference in the extent of fermentative biotransformation of SA, VA and HBA 9
10 Electron Equivalents Flow Mass balance based on electron equivalents Parameters α: anode efficiency of the parent compound Y obs,1 / Y obs,2 : observed yield coefficient of fermentative/exoelectrogenic biomass, Fermentative biomass (X f ), 1, Exoelectrogenic biomass (X e ) Parent compound (S p ) 1, Exoelectrogenic substrates (S e ) Current/Cathodic H 2 (I) 1, 1, Non-exoelectrogenic end products (S ne ),, 10
11 Electron Equivalents Flow : experimentally measured for individual compounds Y obs,1, Y obs,2 : assumed; 0.1 and 0.15 g biomass-cod/g substrate-cod, respectively Variable (g COD) Fractionation factor Parent compound SA VA HBA FF HMF S p S e 1, S ne 1, 1, I X f, X e, 1, Low S e and I, but high S ne from VA and HBA; consistent with previous experimental results Estimated the quantity of fermentative and exoelectrogenic biomass, which cannot be easily measured experimentally Provided quantitative insights without the information on stoichiometric reactions 11
12 Conclusions Primary processes in bioanode: fermentation and exoelectrogenesis Negligible extent of electrochemical reactions Electron equivalents flow quantified based on two parameters: anode efficiency and observed biomass yield coefficients The findings of the present study advance our understanding of the processes and electron flow in MEC bioanode fed with complex, fermentable organic compounds resulting from the pretreatment of biomass The proposed mass-based framework of substrate utilization and electron flow can be used for the dynamic simulation of bioanode processes 12
