Electricity Generation by Saccharomyces cerevisae and Clostridium acetobutylicum via Microbial Fuel Cell Technology: A Comparative Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that converts chemical energy into electricity through the catalytic activities of microorganisms. In the present contribution, we demonstrated the comparative electricity production capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisae and Clostridium acetobutylicum in two chambered MFC using Artificial Waste water. Temperature, pH, substrate concentration and addition of complex waste (Molasses) were used as comparison indicators. Up to 10.89 mA and 10.45 mA current was generated by Saccharomyces cerevisae and Clostridium acetobutylicum in 10 days of operation.

Sulfurous Analysis of Bioelectricity Generation from Sulfate-reducing Bacteria (SRB) in a Microbial Fuel Cell
The current importance of energy emphasizes the use of renewable resources (such as wastewater) for electricity generation by microbial fuel cell (MFC). In the present study, the native sulfate-reducing bacterial strain (R.gh 3) was employed simultaneously for sulfurous component removal and bioelectricity generation. In order to enhance the electrical conductivity and provision of a compatible...

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are a promising technology for a viable source of energy. This technology is faced with many challenges, such as limited mass transfer and low electricity generation. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of electrolyte conductivity and aeration effect on power generation from SMFCs. Electrical conductivity was adjusted at 6different levels...
متن کاملMetabolite analysis of Clostridium acetobutylicum: fermentation in a microbial fuel cell.
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were used to monitor metabolism changes in Clostridium acetobutylicum fermentations. When MFCs were inoculated with C. acetobutylicum, they generated a unique voltage output pattern where two distinct voltage peaks occurred over a weeklong period. This result was markedly different to previously studied organisms which usually generate one sustained voltage peak. Ana...
