Bioelectrochemical studies on bacteria and microalgae for bioelectricity generation

Abstract

Day after day, the need for new and alternative sources of energy increasing. In the upcoming days, the alternative sources of energy will be applied everywhere. The microbial fuel cell technology (MFC) represents an alternative for of energy which has the ability to use microorganisms (bacteria and microalgae) as biocatalysts and produce bioelectricity from different carbon substrates in wastewater by converting the energy stored in chemical ponds into electrical energy. So, MFC represents a hold promise towards sustainable energy generation in the near future.
