Microbial Fuel Cell Project

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project is testing sediment microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as a source of clean, sustainable, environmentally friendly energy. The study uses MFCs to power a Christmas tree as an example…

Sediment Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs)

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

For this study, we set out to determine the feasibility of using microbes to generate clean energy on a large scale. We deployed two streambed sediment microbial fuel cells in…

Marine Sediments Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs)

800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

This project focuses on the molecular DNA characterization of microbial species colonizing the anodes and cathodes of microbial fuel cells. The goal is to screen potential bacteria to improve the…
