Abstract
were the main dominant bacteria in the cathode biofilm. Besides, based on 5 intermediates, degradation pathways involving deamidation, denitro dimethylation, dedimethylation and dehydroxylation of TEC were proposed. The degradation of TEC on the bio-cathode was mainly caused by microbial co-metabolism action. This study would enrich the study of MFC bio-cathodic degradation of antibiotics in water.
