Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the utility model.
The existing EAB biomembrane domestication scheme has the problems of long domestication time, often being completed through multiple liquid exchange, and more factors (such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH and the like of a culture solution) which are difficult to control in the liquid exchange process, causing the difference of dominant strains of the mixed biomembrane, large workload, low working efficiency and the like. For example, there is a method for rapidly acclimatizing a bioanode by electrolysis, comprising: a) Preparing an anode culture solution, connecting a biological anode, a constant voltage power supply, a current monitoring element and a chemical cathode to form a microbial electrolytic cell loop, and starting a 1 st domestication period by adopting a constant voltage electrolysis mode; b) When the current monitoring element monitors that the electrolytic current value of the 1 st domestication period is reduced, a circuit is disconnected, a biological anode culture solution is replaced, and the voltage of the constant-voltage power supply is regulated to start the 2 nd domestication period; c) Repeating the operation of the step B) for 3 times to finish an initial domestication period; and then, selecting the repetition number of the operation of the B) according to the required power generation capacity to finish a stable domestication period, wherein the method needs to monitor the electrolysis current in real time, and the culture solution is replaced when the current intensity reaches a range threshold value. For another example, there is a scheme of using early biological membranes based on Shewanella (Shewanella loihica) PV 4 as sensing elements and transduction elements of microbial electrochemical sensors, which can solve the problems that the traditional microbial electrochemical sensors based on mature biological membranes cannot detect in time, and solve the problems of long start time and difficult incubation of the biological membranes of EAB, but each set of system can only produce a group of microbial electrochemical sensors (MEB) at a time, and the adsorption state EAB is suitable for instant detection, and cannot be used for long-term online monitoring, and the long-term online monitoring needs to stabilize the microbial electrochemical sensors (MEB) with signals, and needs to adopt stable mature EAB biological membranes, and the adsorption state EAB can be separated from the media due to insufficient adsorption and combination tightness degree of EAB and adsorption media, so that bioelectric signal mutation in the detection process is caused, and interference is generated on the test.

(2) And (3) injecting fresh culture solution and a seed source into the electrolytic cell, connecting the potentiostat with the electrode groups, connecting different electrode groups with different potentiostat channels, and carrying out adsorption inoculation culture under the same electrolytic adsorption voltage to obtain the biological anode. In this process, the level of the suspension formed by the fresh broth and the seed source should be such that it is above at least a portion of all of the counter electrodes, all of the biofilm carriers and each of the reference electrodes. In the process, the seed source of the target strain is provided in a liquid phase form, preferably, the volume ratio of the seed source to the fresh culture solution is greater than or equal to 1/2, for example, 1/1, 2/1 or 4/1, and the like, under the condition that the concentration of the target strain in the suspension is relatively large, under the action of the potentiostat voltage, the high-activity EAB in the system can be preferentially and rapidly enriched on a biological film carrier, thereby being beneficial to realizing the rapid formation of an initial target flora biological film, reducing the biomass of mixed bacteria in the culture system, and improving the utilization rate of nutrient substances in the culture system. Further, after the electrolytic adsorption culture is started, since the high-activity EAB in the system is preferentially and rapidly enriched on the biological film carrier, the adsorption electrolytic current of each channel is rapidly increased, the increase rate of the adsorption electrolytic current is increased firstly and then gradually reduced, in the process, the current change of each channel in the adsorption electrolytic culture process can be monitored in real time, and when the increase rate of the current of each channel starts to be reduced, the adsorption inoculation culture can be completed. After the adsorption inoculation culture is completed, the potentiostat control is disconnected.
(3) And replacing the liquid in the electrolytic cell with fresh culture solution, starting a potentiostat, and culturing the plurality of biological anodes under the same culture voltage to obtain a plurality of electrochemical active biological membranes. In this process, the liquid level of the fresh broth should also be over at least a portion of all of the counter electrodes, all of the biofilm carriers and each of the reference electrodes. In the process, the total volume of the bioanode can be made to be equal toThe ratio of the volumes of the fresh culture solution is less than or equal to 1/300, such as less than or equal to 1/500, and in addition, the culture voltage to be controlled should be less than the electroadsorption voltage to be controlled in the step (2). After the culture process is started, the electrolytic current of each channel starts to gradually increase, when the current of each channel reaches the highest point (called the first saturation peak current), the current consumption of the system is reduced along with the decrease of the current consumption, and then whether the carbon source is fed into the culture solution and whether the culture is completed or not can be judged based on the first saturation peak current of each channel and the specific magnitude of the stable and stable value after the decrease of the current, for example, when the current of any channel is reduced to 10 -8 And (3) when the carbon source (such as a carbon source mother solution) is added into the electrolytic cell, so that the concentration of the carbon source in the system is consistent with that of the fresh culture solution, at the moment, the culture current of each channel is observed to rise to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again in a short time, and as a specific example, after the fresh carbon source is added, if the culture current of each channel rises to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again, the current growth speed in the subsequent culture time can be continuously counted, and if the culture is continuously carried out for a preset time (such as 20 minutes and the like) and the current growth speed in the preset time is smaller than a certain preset value (such as 0.005mA/s and the like), the culture can be considered to be completed.

(II) injecting fresh culture solution and a seed source into the electrolytic cell, connecting a potentiostat with the electrode groups, connecting different electrode groups with different potentiostat channels, and culturing under the same adsorption voltage. In this process, the level of the suspension formed by the fresh broth and the seed source should be such that it is above at least a portion of all of the counter electrodes, all of the biofilm carriers and each of the reference electrodes. The culture mode is suitable for the condition of smaller concentration of target strains,the seed source of the target strain is provided in liquid phase, preferably the volume ratio of seed source to fresh culture broth may be less than or equal to 1/2, for example, 1/1, 1/2 or 1/4, etc., under which conditions the concentration of the target strain in the suspension is relatively small, the target strain grows slower at the initial stage of starting the culture, and a longer adaptation period is provided compared to step (3) of scheme 1. After the culture process is started, the electrolysis current of each channel starts to gradually increase, when the current of each channel reaches the highest point (called as first saturation peak current), the current consumption of the system is reduced along with the decrease of the current consumption, and then whether the carbon source is fed into the culture solution and whether the culture is completed can be judged based on the first saturation peak current of each channel and the specific magnitude of the stability and the stability value after the current is reduced. As a specific example, when the current in any channel decreases to a predetermined value (e.g. 10 -8 A, etc.), adding a carbon source (mother liquor), preferably, making the concentration of the carbon source in the system consistent with that of the fresh culture solution, at this time, observing that the culture current of each channel rises to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again in a short time, as a specific example, after adding the fresh carbon source, if the culture current of each channel rises to the vicinity of the first saturation peak current again, continuously counting the current magnitude or current increasing speed in the subsequent culture time, and if the culture is continuously performed for a preset time (such as 20 minutes to 40 minutes) and the current is still close to the first saturation peak current in the preset time, or the current increasing speed is smaller than a certain preset value (such as 0.005 mA/s), etc.), then considering that the culture is completed; if the current of any channel is greater than 1.2 times the first saturation peak value within the preset time (for example, 20 minutes to 40 minutes) for continuing the culture, the culture is considered to be not completed, and the fresh culture solution needs to be replaced for continuing the culture.
