Microbial fuel cell biosensor

Ebook "Thermophilic carboxydotrophs and their applications in biotechnology" describes the products produced by carboxydotrophic bacteria and their biotechnological applications. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a widespread pollutant and a hazard to man because of its extremely toxic nature. It is a major component of some industrial gas mixtures and may be derived from coal. The carboxydotrophic bacteria obtain energy and carbon from the oxidation of CO. These organisms may be used to produce new metabolites, and the oxidases from them may be used to produce fuel cells and biosensors for CO.

This study we attempt to (i) discover a better performing electrode material to minimize the internal resistance of the MFC, (ii) modify the anodic electrode spacing to determine a design that better supports the electrochemical activity of acting bacteria, and (iii) reduce losses during the electron transfer process (from the electron donor at the anode to the electron acceptor at the cathode) via optimization of the cathode oxygen supply rate and the external resistance using polarization analysis.
