MFC is a bio-electrochemical approach to produce electric power by consuming organic metabolizable substrates such as acetate [1], glucose [2,3], xylose [3] and waste water [4]. The energy generated by MFC is originated from chemical bonds of the carbohydrates. It is released when the substrates are...
