Abstract
Description
(i) 個々のShewanellaからの電流生成が増大した、
(ii) 電極へのShewanellaの移動、拡散が促進された、
(iii) 自発的に凝集したα-Fe2O3微粒子が長距離電子伝達材料として機能する、
という3つの可能性が考えられる。(i)に関しては、同じα-Fe2O3微粒子が存在する場合でもα-Fe2O3/Shewanellaの3次元凝集構造が形成されないα-Fe2O3薄膜電極上での電流生成値は、α-Fe2O3微粒子を溶液中の微生物及び微粒子を懸濁させるセルに添加した時と比較してずっと小さかった。このことは観測された飛躍的な電流密度の増大はShewanellaからの電流生成が増大したというだけでは説明できないことを示している。
金属酸化物としてα-Fe2O3微粒子を用いた。α-Fe2O3微粒子水溶液はFeCl3溶液を沸騰した純水に滴下し、作成した。微生物としてShewanella loihica PV-4を用いた。
上記実施例1に対し、電気化学セル9の作用極10をグラファイト電極とし、その他の構成及び条件は上記実施例1と同様とした(実施例2)。振とうにはBR-40LF(TAITEC)を用い30°C、120rpmの条件で培養した。尚、グラファイト電極は、炭素を主成分とする粉末焼結体で構成されている。本実施例では、光照射を行わないため、ITO電極ではなく、グラファイト電極を用いた。
上記実施例1に対し、微生物としてShewanella oneidensis MR-1を用い、その他の構成及び条件は上記実施例1と同様とした(実施例3)。振とうにはBR-40LF(TAITEC)を用い30°C、120rpmの条件で培養した。
導電性微粒子として硫化鉄微粒子を用いた場合の実施例(実施例4)について説明する。Fe3+とS2O3 2-イオンとが存在する環境下で実施例1と同様にShewanella loihica PV-4の培養をおこなった。Fe3+とS2O3 2-イオンを含んだ寒天培地(Marine Broth 20 g L-1, Agar(寒天)15 g L-1)上で保存されているコロニーを一晩嫌気条件下で培養した。振とうにはBR-40LF(TAITEC)を用い30°C、120rpmの条件で培養した。その際、Fe3+はFe2+に還元され、S2O3 2-はS2-に還元され、FeSが生成する。硫化鉄微粒子の粒子径は、一次粒子径が20nm程度、凝集すると数百nmとなる。遠心分離を行い図3に示す電気化学測定用の電気化学セル9のシリコンゴム栓15を貫きShewanella loihica PV-4の懸濁液を注入した。この場合、DM-L(10mM)に対するShewanella loihica PV-4の濃度はOD(600nm)で2.0、硫化鉄微粒子水溶液の電気化学セル9内濃度は7.5mMである。
上記実施例1に対し、導電性微粒子としてγ-Fe2O3微粒子を用いた場合の実施例(実施例5)について説明する。γ-Fe2O3微粒子を用いた以外は実施例1と同様の手法でShewanella loihica PV-4を嫌気条件下で培養した。振とうにはBR-40LF(TAITEC)を用い30°C、120rpmの条件で培養した。γ-Fe2O3微粒子の粒子径は、一次粒子径が20nm程度、凝集すると数百nmとなる。γ-Fe2O3微粒子を純水に溶かして得たγ-Fe2O3微粒子水溶液を電気化学セル9内にセル内濃度が7.5mMとなるように注入したときの電流密度-時間曲線を図12に示す。尚、この場合、DM-L(10mM)に対するShewanella loihica PV-4の濃度はOD(600nm)で2.0、γ-Fe2O3微粒子水溶液のセル内濃度は上記したように7.5mMである。すなわち、4mlの溶液に約5mgのγ-Fe2O3微粒子を入れたこととなる。図中(a)はγ-Fe2O3微粒子あり(実施例5)、(b)はγ-Fe2O3微粒子なし(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例6)の結果である。本実施例では、γ-Fe2O3微粒子が存在しない(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例6)場合に比べて、電流密度が約2倍増加した。
上記実施例1に対し、導電性微粒子としてε-Fe2O3微粒子を用いた場合の実施例(実施例6)について説明する。ε-Fe2O3微粒子を用いた以外は実施例1と同様の手法でShewanella loihica PV-4を嫌気条件下で培養した。振とうにはBR-40LF(TAITEC)を用い30°C、120rpmの条件で培養した。ε-Fe2O3微粒子の粒子径は、一次粒子径が20nm程度、凝集すると数百nmとなる。ε-Fe2O3微粒子を純水に溶かして得たε-Fe2O3微粒子水溶液を電気化学セル9内にセル内濃度が7.5mMとなるように注入したときの電流密度-時間曲線を図13に示す。尚、この場合、DM-L(10mM)に対するShewanella loihica PV-4の濃度はOD(600nm)で2.0、ε-Fe2O3微粒子水溶液の電気化学セル9内濃度は上記したように7.5mMである。すなわち、4mlの溶液に約5mgのε-Fe2O3微粒子を入れたこととなる。図中(a)はε-Fe2O3微粒子あり(実施例6)、(b)はε-Fe2O3微粒子なし(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例7)の結果である。本実施例では、ε-Fe2O3微粒子が存在しない(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例7)場合に比べて、電流密度が約2倍増加した。
上記実施例1に対し、導電性微粒子としてα-FeOOH微粒子を用いた場合の実施例(実施例7)について説明する。α-FeOOH微粒子を用いた以外は実施例1と同様の手法でShewanella loihica PV-4を嫌気条件下で培養した。振とうにはBR-40LF(TAITEC)を用い30°C、120rpmの条件で培養した。α-FeOOH微粒子の粒子径は、一次粒子径が20nm程度、凝集すると数百nmとなる。α-FeOOH微粒子水溶液を電気化学セル9内にセル内濃度が7.5mMとなるように注入したときの電流密度-時間曲線を図14に示す。尚、この場合、DM-L(10mM)に対するShewanella loihica PV-4の濃度はOD(600nm)で2.0、α-FeOOH微粒子水溶液の電気化学セル9内濃度は上記したように7.5mMである。図中(a)はα-FeOOH微粒子あり(実施例7)、(b)はα-FeOOH微粒子なし(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例8)の結果である。本実施例では、α-FeOOH微粒子が存在しない(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例8)場合に比べて、電流密度が飛躍的(約50倍)に増加した。15時間以降に見られる電流密度の減少は、燃料であるlactateの消費に帰属される。
上記実施例1に対し、導電性微粒子としてFe3O4微粒子を用いた場合の実施例(実施例8)について説明する。Fe3O4微粒子を用いた以外は実施例1と同様の手法でShewanella loihica PV-4を嫌気条件下で培養した。振とうにはBR-40LF(TAITEC)を用い30°C、120rpmの条件で培養した。Fe3O4微粒子の粒子径は、一次粒子径が20nm程度、凝集すると数百nmとなる。Fe3O4微粒子水溶液を電気化学セル9内にセル内濃度が7.5mMとなるように注入したときの電流密度-時間曲線を図15に示す。尚、この場合、DM-L(10mM)に対するShewanella loihica PV-4の濃度はOD(600nm)で2.0、Fe3O4微粒子水溶液の電気化学セル9内濃度は上記したように7.5mMである。すなわち、4mlの溶液に約5mgのFe3O4微粒子を入れたこととなる。図中(a)はFe3O4微粒子あり(実施例8)、(b)はFe3O4微粒子なし(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例9)の結果である。本実施例では、Fe3O4微粒子が存在しない(Shewanella loihica PV-4のみ、比較例9)場合に比べて、電流密度が約3倍に増加した。
