Enhancement of bioelectricity production from Soil Microbial Fuel Cell (SMFC) by additional glucose, nutrient broth and Escherichia coli bacteria

Soil Microbial Fuel Cell (SMFC) is a device that using bacteria in soils as a biocatalyst. These bacteria, called exoelectrogenic bacteria are oxidizing organic substrates to release electrons, which then harvested in an external circuit to produce bioelectricity. Despite all the potential, the bi...
