Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a rapidly growing technology for energy production from wastewater and biomasses. In a MFC, a microbial biofilm oxidizes organic matter and transfers electrons from reduced compounds to an anode as the electron acceptor by extracellular electron transfer (EET). The aim of this work was to characterize the microbial communities operating in a Single Chamber Microb...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices that exploit microorganisms as biocatalysts to recover energy from organic matter in the form of electricity. One of the goals of MFC research is to develop the technology for cost-effective wastewater treatment. However, before practical MFC applications are implemented it is important to gain fundamental knowledge about long-term system performance, rep...

The rise in population, urbanization, and industrial developments have led to a substantial increase waste generation energy demand, posing significant challenges for management as well conservation production. Bioenergy conversions been merged advanced, sustainable, integrated solutions these issues, encompassing upcycling of different types organic waste. Municipal solid (MSW) agricultural re...

Abstract Biomass is one of the most abundant renewable energy resources on earth, which also considered as promising alternatives to traditional fuel energy. In recent years, microbial cell (MFC) can directly convert chemical from organic compounds into electric has been developed. By using MFC, biomass could be harvested with form electricity, convenient, wide-spread, and clean Therefore, MFC ...

Methyl red, a synthetic azo dye, was reported for not only being mutagenic but also its persistence has severe consequences on human health, such as cancer, alongside detrimental environmental effects. In the present study, Pseudomonas putida OsEnB_HZB_G20 strain isolated from soil sample to study catalytic activity degradation of methyl red dye. Another strain, aeruginosa PA 1_NCHU used an ele...

The upflow microbial fuel cell (MFC) system with membrane-free air-cathode was developed, and landfill leachate as fuel. The anode was made of stainless steel mesh filled with activated carbon, and carbon felt as the cathode. Electricity production performance of MFC with cylindrical stainless steel mesh anode filled with 0 (unfilled), 1mm, and 3mm cylindrical activated carbon particles was inv...

Due to environmental persistence and biotoxicity of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), it is urgent to develop potential technologies to remediate PBDEs. Introducing electrodes for microbial electricity generation to stimulate the anaerobic degradation of organic pollutants is highly promising for bioremediation. However, it is still not clear whether the degradation of PBDEs could be prom...

Improving electricity generation from wastewater (DW) by using olive mill wastewater (OMW) was evaluated using single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFC). Doing so single-chambers air cathode MFCs with platinum anode were fed with domestic wastewater (DW) alone and mixed with OMW at the ratio of 14:1 (w/w). MFCs fed with DW+OMW gave 0.38 V at 1 kΩ, while power density from polarization curve was...
