A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a microbial device converting chemical energy into the form of electricity through the catalytic activity of microbes. The MFC research provides an unprecedented insight into the function of electrochemically active bacteria in microbial fuel cell directly associated with practical needs of the environmental protection. Investigation into the potential for recovery of electricity from organic matter including wastewater with electrodes in clearly in its infancy and the studies described here should rapidly accelerate the development of this environmentally friendly strategy for harvesting energy from waste biomass. In addition to these practical considerations, MFC study significantly contributes to develop novel biomaterials (biosensor) as well as to create new research fields that combined in Environmental Technology, NanoTechnology and BioTechnology.
