Microbial fuel cells

Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are very promising for bioelectricity generation and bioremediation, which can efficiently convert organic wastes into electricity (wastes to energy). Biofilm formation on the anode of MFC is essential for the transfer of electron from bacteria to the anode, thereby power...
