experimental conditions, specifically the type of substrate used, inoculum concentration, and MFC set up conditions, etc. Table 13.5 summarizes the power output
(current density) from different substrates and source of microorganisms used in
MFC studies. For MFC in wastewater treatment, the build-up of biofilm on a large
surface area required on the anode and innovations are necessary to build low-cost
electrodes that resist fouling.
