This study discussed the influence of acetate and sodium chloride concentration on monitoring 2,4-dichlorophenol(2,4-DCP) by electroactive bacteria. The performance of the reactor was represented by power density, and the electrochemical activity was represented by redox capacity. At the same time, micro-electrodes were used to detect the redox potential between biofilms, and the changes in extracellular polymers and microbial community structure under different conditions were also explored. With acetate concentration of 1 g/L and sodium chloride concentration of 0.0125 g/L, the electroactive microorganisms were more sensitive to toxic substances and responded fast. The biofilm also evenly covered on the surface of the carrier, which aided in the diffusion of substances. Although the maximum power density monotonically increased with acetate concentration, high concentration of substrate may mask the inhibitory effect and affect the judgment of inhibitory results. The content of protein and polysaccharide increased monotonically with sodium chloride concentration. However, more polysaccharides would lead to high resistance to electron transfer. Compared to sodium chloride, the microbial content was more affected by acetate. The electroactive microorganisms had strong adaptability to salinity. In practical application, it is conducive to increase the sensitivity of MFCs to reasonably reduce the concentration of acetic acid and sodium chloride.
