“…10 This high performance resulted from: (i) the higher electron transfer for the organic matter degradation (i.e., organic oxidation generates electrons) upon utilization of anode biolms; and (ii) the application of micro electric elds that increased the cellular metabolic function of the microorganisms. 11,12 Liquid phase-installed electrodes in anaerobic hybrid systems were more efficient than those located in the sludge phase in AD-MEC degradation systems. In summary, the addition of a MEC unit can be used to enhance the AD efficiency of an anaerobic reactor.…”

“…El hexadecano (HXD) es un hidrocarburo alifático incoloro, insoluble en agua, cuyo peso molecular es de 226 g/mol, el cual es el mayor componente del Diésel (Velasco, 2006). Esta molécula se utiliza como modelo para la investigación en biodegradación de hidrocarburos alifáticos, por sus siguientes características: está presente en los lugares contaminados por hidrocarburos, es un indicador importante de la biodegradación de hidrocarburos por ser una molécula de poca solubilidad en agua y de fácil asimilación para los microorganismos (Velasco et al, 2010;Sánchez, 2012;Sánchez-Vázquez et al, 2015). Por estos motivos, en la presente investigación se enfocará al estudio de hidrocarburos alifáticos, específicamente al hexadecano.…”
