Cyanobacteria based photosynthetic microbial fuel cell development and application for sensing alcohol

Abstract

The major objective of the present study is to develop an efficient photosynthetic microbial fuel cell PMFC using cyanobacteria as anodic catalyst with a further aim of utilizing this energy generating device for sensing applications One of the key issues to make the bacterial catalysts effective for generating power in microbial fuel cell is the proper electrical communications between the bacterial cells and the conductive electrode of the fuel cell device We proposed the direct electron t
