In Situ Fuel Processing in a Microbial Fuel Cell
ChemSusChem, 2012AbstractA microbial fuel cell (MFC) was designed in which fuel is generated in the cell by the enzyme glucoamylase, which is displayed on the surface of yeast. The enzyme digests starch specifically into monomeric glucose units and as a consequence enables further glucose oxidation by microorganisms present in the MFC anode.

Microbial Fuel Cells: Methodology and Technology
Environmental Science & Technology, 2006Microbial fuel cell (MFC) research is a rapidly evolving field that lacks established terminology and methods for the analysis of system performance. This makes it difficult for researchers to compare devices on an equivalent basis. The construction and analysis of MFCs requires knowledge of different scientific and engineering fields, ranging from ...

Although it has been more than two centuries since Luigi Galvani made the first observations of bioelectrical phenomenon, it is only in recent years that microbial fuel cells, or, more generally, bioelectrochemical systems, have attracted wide attention as devices that use microorganisms to assist a vast array of processes – from energy recovery from ...

Microbial Fuel Cells for Sulfide Removal
Environmental Science & Technology, 2006Thus far, microbial fuel cells (MFCs) have been used to convert carbon-based substrates to electricity. However, sulfur compounds are ubiquitously present in organic waste and wastewater. In this study, a MFC with a hexacyanoferrate cathodic electrolyte was used to convert dissolved sulfide to elemental sulfur.

Photosynthetic Microbial Fuel Cells
2016This chapter presents the current state of research on bioelectrochemical systems that include phototrophic organisms. First, we describe what is known of how phototrophs transfer electrons from internal metabolism to external substrates. This includes efforts to understand both the source of electrons and transfer pathways within cells.

Microbial fuel cells containingProteus vulgaris and oxidation-reduction (“redox”) mediators were investigated. The bacteria were chemically immobilized onto the surface of graphite felt electrodes, which supported production of continuous electric current and could be reused after storage A computer-controlled carbohydrate feed system enabled the cell ...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical devices that produces electric power while treating wastewaters. These unique systems relies on the ability of certain electroactive bacteria to transfer their electrons extracellulary as a part of their metabolism when placed in proximity to a solid electrode.

Investigating Variability in Microbial Fuel Cells
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2023The research presented, although carried out in the area of microbial fuel cells, reaches an important and broadly impacting conclusion that when using mixed inoculate in replica reactors under replicated conditions, different communities emerge capable of different levels of metabolism.

Cellular life exists at the interface between electrochemical extremes. The energy of most living cells depends on the transfer of electrons from intracellular, electrically reduced biochemicals to oxidized extracellular acceptors. For almost one hundred years investigators have tried to tap into these processes in microbes for electrical power ...
