“…One particular advantage of using photosynthetic bacteria in MFCs is the elimination of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere due to photosynthesis coupled with bioelectricity generation (Rosenbaum et al 2010). Previously, cyanobacterial strains of Anabaena and Nostoc also have been used as biocatalysts in MFCs (Tanaka et al 1985;Yagishita et al 1997Yagishita et al , 1998. Another idea that can be used in MFCs is the synergistic relationship between photosynthetic bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria for electricity generation.…”

Bioelectricity production involves generation of electricity by anaerobic digestion of organic substrates by microbes. A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that converts chemical energy released as a result of oxidation of complex organic carbon sources which are utilized as substrates by microorganisms to produce electrical energy thereby proving to be an efficient means of sustainable energy production. The electrons released due to the microbial metabolism are captured to maintain a constant power density, without an effective carbon emission in the ecosystem. The various parameters involved in MFC technology toward power generation include maximum power density, coulombic efficiencies and sometimes chemical oxygen demand removal rate which evaluates the effectiveness of the device. Application of microbes toward bioremediation at the same time resulting in generation of electricity makes MFC technology a highly advantageous proposition which can be applied in various sectors of industrial, municipal and agricultural Waste Management. Although the efficiency of MFCs in power generation initially was low, recent modifications in the design, components and working have enhanced the power output to a significant level thereby enabling application of MFCs in various fields including wastewater treatment, biosensors and bioremediation. The following review provides an outline about the components involved, working, modifications and applications of MFC technology for various research and industrial objectives. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…This type of MSCs was actively investigated ~10 years ago (Rosenbaum et al 2010). In that period, cyanobacteria (e.g., Anabaena and Synechocystis) were mainly used as biocatalysts with 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphtoquinone (HNQ) as an artificial mediator (Tanaka et al 1985;Yagishita et al 1997;Tanaka et al 1988;Yagishita et al 1999). Most of these studies however observed the increases in power outputs in association with the dark reaction, where intracellular carbon storages were oxidized, and electrons were liberated.…”

“…Chloroplast, photosystemenriched fraction, and thylakoid membrane in plants or intact photosynthetic microorganisms such as cyanobacteria have been utilized as catalysts. [82][83][84][85] p-Quinones (Q) are good mediators from the kinetic view points, but there is a power loss because of rather positive E˚M (Fig. 8 (B)).…”
