A current Microbial Desalination Cell (MDC) system often uses chemicals or air cathodes that are toxic and impractical for scalable applications. This work presents the MDC performance that utilized microalgae species Chlamydomonas sp. (UKM6) and Scenedesmus sp. (UKM9). These species supported the r...
