Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Bioelectrochemical ammonia oxidation (BEAO) in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a recently discovered process that has the potential to reduce energy consumption in wastewater treatment. However, level of energy and limiting factors of this process in different microbial groups are not fully understood. This study comparatively investigated the BEAO in wastewater treatment by MFCs enriched with different functional groups of bacteria (confirmed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing): electroactive bacteria (EAB), ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and anammox bacteria (AnAOB). Ammonia oxidation rates of 0.066, 0.083 and 0.082 g NH 4 + -N L −1 d −1 were achieved by biofilms enriched with EAB, AOB, and AnAOB, respectively. With influent 444 ± 65 mg NH 4 + -N d −1, nitrite accumulation between 84 and 105 mg N d −1 was observed independently of the biofilm type. The AnAOB-enriched biofilm released electrons at higher potential energy levels (anode potential of 0.253 V vs. SHE) but had high internal resistance (R int ) of 299 Ω, which limits its power density (0.2 W m −3 ). For AnAOB enriched biofilm, accumulation of nitrite was a limiting factor for power output by allowing conventional anammox activity without current generation. AOB enriched biofilm had R int of 18 ± 1 Ω and yielded power density of up to 1.4 W m −3. The activity of the AOB-enriched biofilm was not dependent on the accumulation of dissolved oxygen and achieved 1.5 fold higher coulombic efficiency when sulfate was not available. The EAB-enriched biofilm adapted to oxidize ammonia without organic carbon, with R int of 19 ± 1 Ω and achieved the highest power density of 11 W m −3. Based on lab-scale experiments (scaling-up factors not considered) energy savings of up to 7 % (AnAOB), 44 % (AOB) and 475 % (EAB) (positive energy balance), compared to conventional nitrification, are projected from the applications of BEAO in wastewater treatment plants.
