Gas phases were N2/CO2, except for the conditions of 2% O2, 5% O2, and 20% O2 as electron acceptors and H2 as an electron donor, for which the gas phases were N2/CO2/O2 (78:20:2, 75:20:5, and 60:20:20 [vol/vol]; 150 kPa) and H2/CO2 (80:20 [vol/vol]; 150 kPa), respectively.
−, negative; +, positive.
