E. coli cells evolved under electrochemical tension in a microbial fuel cell possess direct electrochemical behavior due to the excretion of hydroquinone derivatives through a highly permeable outer membrane, and their catalyzed fuel cell demonstrates excellent performance.

Microbial fuel cells, in which living microorganisms convert chemical energy into electricity, represent a potentially sustainable energy technology for the future. Here we report the single-bacterium level current measurements of Geobacter sulfurreducens DL-1 to elucidate the fundamental limits and factors determining maximum power output from a microbial fuel cell. Quantized stepwise current ...

Microbial fuel cells are obtaining increased attention in wastewater treatment technology because of provision of effective treatment in presence of a low organic load through continuous electrical power supply. This paper studies the voltage reutilization performance of a microbial fuel cell using recycled wastewater from its treatment process as an anodic fuel. The experimental results show t...

Sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) are energy harvesting devices where the anode is buried inside marine sediment, while cathode stays in an aerobic environment on surface of water. To apply this SCMFC as a power source, it crucial to have efficient management system, leading development effective technique suitable for such biological devices. In work, we demonstrate method improve extracti...
