Abstract This study investigated the response mechanism of the biofilm by constructing a Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough (DvH) biocathode, under the influence of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). The results showed that the conversion rate of SO42- to S2- of the biocathode mediated by MNPs increased from 6.8% to 37.9%, compared to the group without MNPs. The results of the linear sweep voltammetry test revealed that, within the potential range of 0~-0.81V, the cathodic current observed in the group with MNPs was higher than that of the control group, suggesting that MNPs enhance the electrocatalytic activity of the cathodic biofilm. The comparative transcriptome analysis of DvH cathodic biofilm revealed that MNPs can facilitate hydrogen utilization in DvH by upregulating genes encoding [FeFe] hydrogenase, Hmc, and ATP synthase. In addition, genes encoding sulfate adenylyltransferase and adenylylsulphate reductase, both crucial enzymes in sulfur metabolism, were upregulated with MNPs addition, which contributed to an improved conversion rate of SO42--S2-. MNPs upregulated genes related to Flp/Tad pili assembly and PEP-CTERM protein, thereby augmenting the adhesion of DvH and promoting biofilm formation on the cathode. These findings contribute to a novel theoretical framework for the development of highly efficient microbial cathodic electrochemical systems.
