“…S. cerevisiae is considered to be a good biocatalyst in MFC due to its broad substrate spectrum, easy and fast mass cultivation, nonpathogenic, cheap and can be maintained for a long time in the dried state [9,[60][61][62]. Due to these features, S. cerevisiae was recently used in a large-scale MFC [63].…”

“…MFC was believed as a promising technology that can be used to produce bioenergy in the form of hydrogen and/or electricity directly from various oxidation process of organic and inorganic compounds [6,7,8,9]. MFC can generates electrical power while accomplishing simultaneous treatment of biodegradable contaminants in wastewater by utilizing microorganisms [10,11].…”

Abstract. Microbial fuel cell is one of attractive electric power generator from nature bacterial activity. While, Evapotranspiration is one of the waste water treatment system which developed to eliminate biological weakness that utilize the natural evaporation process and bacterial activity on plant roots and plant media. This study aims to determine the potential of electrical energy from leachate treatment using evapotranspiration reactor. The study was conducted using local plant, namely Alocasia macrorrhiza and local grass, namely Eleusine Indica. The system was using horizontal MFC by placing the cathodes and anodes at different chamber (i.e. in the leachate reactor and reactor with plant media). Carbon plates was used for chatode-anodes material with size of 40 cm x 10 cm x1 cm. Electrical power production was measure by a digital multimeter for 30 days reactor operation. The result shows electric power production was fluctuated during reactor operation from all reactors. The electric power generated from each reactor was fluctuated, but from the reactor using Alocasia macrorrhiza plant reach to 70 μwatt average. From the reactor using Eleusine Indica grass was reached 60 μwatt average. Electric power production fluctuation is related to the bacterial growth pattern in the soil media and on the plant roots which undergo the adaptation process until the middle of the operational period and then in stable growth condition until the end of the reactor operation. The results indicate that the evapotranspiration reactor using Alocasia macrorrhiza plant was 60-95% higher electric power potential than using Eleusine Indica grass in short-term (30-day) operation. Although, MFC system in evapotranspiration reactor system was one of potential system for renewable electric power generation.
