This study proposes an novel single-stage microbial electrosynthesis system (MES) that bioelectrochemically converts CO2 into poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB). This innovative approach utilizes a symbiotic co-culture of electroactive acetogenic bacteria and PHB-accumulating bacteria within a single reactor, bypassing the need for separate acetate production and extraction. Systematic optimization of key operational parameters, including applied voltage, carbon source, and cathode material, was conducted to maximize PHB production. Results demonstrate that using a voltage of 2.5 V yielded a 7.14-fold increase in PHB content compared to open circuit conditions. Furthermore, functionalizing the cathode with a conductive and hydrophilic PEDOT: PSS polymer coating significantly enhanced the system’s performance, resulting in a 1.5-fold increase in both acetate and PHB production compared to unmodified carbon felt electrodes. The long-term stability and effectiveness of the co-culture system were validated through comprehensive microbial and metagenomic analyses. Results revealed a significant enrichment of CO2-utilizing electrotrophs within the cathode biofilm, including Acetobacterium and Clostridium. Concurrently, a 4 to 14-fold increase in the relative abundance of PHB-biosynthesizing bacteria, such as Pseudomonas, Rhodobacter and Caulobacter was observed in the planktonic phase. This study offers a promising pathway towards a circular bioeconomy by enabling the valorization of CO2 into valuable bio-based products via single-stage MES, utilizing a symbiotic co-culture.
