Potentiometric and amperometric measurements were made with microbial fuel cells
containing E. coli or yeast as the anodic reducing agent and glucose as the oxidizable�…

A fuel cell is a device for direct conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy. It
requires an anode, a cathode, a supporting electrolyte medium to connect the two�…

A microbial fuel cell whose anode was steeped directly in a cultivating liquid was
demonstrated to work long term by adding nutrients periodically. A fairly large current�…

Microbial fuel cells containing Proteus vulgaris and oxidation-reduction (“redox”) mediators
were investigated. The bacteria were chemically immobilized onto the surface of graphite felt�…

The pattern of glucose metabolism was studied in a thionine-mediated Proteus vulgaris fuel
cell by using 14C-labelled glucose. Added glucose was rapidly taken up by the bacteria and�…

For the purpose of orienting those who are un-familiar with the term, a fuel cell may be
broadly defined as an electrochemical energy conversion device. A brief review of fuel cell�…

Selected strains of alkalophilic bacillus organisms showed a remarkable ability for reducing
'redox'mediator reagents, and were used as biocatalysts in the anode compartment of a�…

Various phenoxazine, phenothiazine, phenazine, indophenol and bipyridilium derivatives
were tested for their effectiveness as redox mediators in microbial fuel cells containing�…

The catalytic activity of baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a biocatalyst was
investigated in a mediatorless microbial fuel cell. The yeast cells that adhered on the anode�…

In the past 20 years, inorganic fuel cells have been transformed from novelty devices to
practical energy transfer-energy storage units. However, the advantage of the high operating�…
