GENERATING ELECTRICAL POWER BY COUPLING AEROBIC MICROBIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS TO AN ELECTRON-HARVESTING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to an aerobic single-chamber photosynthetic microbial fuel cell (PMFC) that does not depend on organic substrate as an energy source but instead powered only by the energy of light. Its operation is CO₂-free and does not require buffers or exogenous electron transfer shuttles to provide the electrical energy.
