3-13-2 メタン生成古細菌を用いた微生物燃料電池(Session 3-13 糖化・発酵)

抄録

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices that harvest electrons to release when anaerobic microbes oxidize organic matter. Most MFCs use an expensive metal catalyst. Therefore we proposed using methanogens as the biocatalyst in the cathode. This system is reasonable and may perform power generation and methanation at the same time. In this study, we designed and tested the ability of the MFC that use methanogens as the catalysts.
