Electrochemical performance and microbial community profiles in microbial fuel cells in relation to electron transfer mechanisms

Abstract Background Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) operating with complex microbial communities have been extensively reported in the past, and are commonly used in applications such as wastewater treatment, bioremediation or in-situ powering of environmental sensors. However, our knowledge on how the...
