METHOD OF PRODUCING ELECTRIC ENERGY BY MEANS OF MICROBIAL BIOFUEL ELEMENT IMPLANTED INTO LIVE GRASS FROG RANA TEMPORARIA

摘要

FIELD: biochemistry.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biochemistry. Disclosed is a method of producing electric energy. Method includes implantation of electrodes of biofuel element into abdominal portion of lymphatic sinus of living body of representative of type of chordate, class of amphibian grass frogs Rana temporaria. Electrodes of biofuel element are made of thermally expanded graphite. Anode comprises water-insoluble mediator dimethyl ferrocene and immobilised in chitosan gel cells of bacteria strain Gluconobacter oxydans sbsp. industrius VKM V-1280.;EFFECT: invention provides generation of electric power in microbial biofuel element due to glucose available in a living body, without application of additional types of energy sources.;1 cl, 2 dwg
