Microbial fuel cell based biosensors (MFC-biosensors) utilize anode biofilms as biological recognition elements to monitor biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and biotoxicity. However, the relatively poor sensitivity constrains the application of MFC-biosensors. To address this limitation, this study provided a systematic comparison of sensitivity between the MFC-biosensors constructed with two inocula. Higher biomass density and viability were both observed in the anode biofilm of the mixed culture MFC, which resulted in better sensitivity for BOD assessment. Compared with using mixed culture as inoculum, the anode biofilm developed with Shewanella loihica PV-4 presented lower content of extracellular polymeric substances and poorer ability to secrete protein under toxic shocks. Moreover, the looser structure in the S. loihica PV-4 biofilm further facilitated its susceptibilities to toxic agents. Therefore, the MFC-biosensor with a pure culture of S. loihica PV-4 delivered higher sensitivity for biotoxicity monitoring. This study proposed a new perspective to enhance sensor performance.
