Microorganism Communities in MFCs

Numerous bacteria that can generate electricity have been isolated and investigated. Studies on these pure cultures provide us valuable knowledge about the properties of exoelectrogens, as well as the exocellular electron transfer mechanisms. Some examples of exoelectrogenic active bacteria are listed in

Note The fuel ceU design and experimental conditions are different in each case so that direct comparisons should not be made.
