Previous studies have suggested that members of the Geobacteraceae can use electrodes
as electron acceptors for anaerobic respiration. In order to better understand this electron …

Microbial fuel cells often produce more electrical power with mixed cultures than with pure
cultures. Here, we show that a coculture of a nonexoelectrogen (Escherichia coli) and …

An electricity-generating bacterium, Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA, was inoculated into a
single-chamber, air-cathode microbial fuel cell (MFC) in order to determine the maximum …

Geobacter sulfurreducens is a well-known current-producing microorganism in microbial
fuel cells, and is able to use acetate and hydrogen as electron donor. We studied the …

Geobacter sulfurreducens produces current densities in microbial fuel cells that are among
the highest known for pure cultures. The possibility of adapting this organism to produce …

Geobacter sulfurreducens developed highly structured, multilayer biofilms on the anode
surface of a microbial fuel cell converting acetate to electricity. Cells at a distance from the …

It has been demonstrated previously that Geobacter species can transfer electrons directly to
electrodes. In order to determine whether electrodes could serve as electron donors for …

It has been previously noted that mixed communities typically produce more power in
microbial fuel cells than pure cultures. If true, this has important implications for the design of …

The versatility of gold for electrode manufacture suggests that it could be an ideal material
for some microbial fuel cell applications. However, previous studies have suggested that …

Current outputs of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are too low for most perceived practical
applications. Most efforts for further optimization have focused on modifications of fuel cell …
