   Microbes used in MFCs


Microbes Substrate Applications
Actinobacillus succinogenes Glucose Neutral red or thionin as electron mediator
Aeromonas hydrophila Acetate Mediator-less MFC
Alcaligenes faecalis, Enterococcus gallinarum, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Glucose Self-mediate consortia isolated from MFC with a maximal level of 4.31 W m-2
Clostridium beijerinckii Starch, glucose,lactate, molasses Fermentative bacterium
Clostridium butyricum Starch, glucose,lactate, molasses Fermentative bacterium
Desulfovibrio desulfuricans Sucrose Sulphate/sulphide as mediator
Erwinia dissolven Glucose Ferric chelate complex as mediators
Erwinia dissolven Glucose Sucrose Mediators such as methylene blue needed
Geobacter metallireducens Acetate Mediator-less MFC
Geobacter sulfurreducens Acetate Mediator-less MFC
Gluconobacter oxydans Glucose Mediator (HNQ, resazurin or thionine) needed
Klebsiella pneumoniae Glucose HNQ as mediator biomineralized manganese as electron acceptor
Lactobacillus plantarum Glucose Ferric chelate complex as mediators
Proteus mirabilis Glucose Thionin as mediator
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Glucose Pyocyanin and phenazine-1-carboxamide as mediator
Rhodoferax ferrireducens Glucose, xylose, sucrose, maltose Mediator-less MFC
Shewanella oneidensis Lactate Anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate (AQDS) as mediator
Shewanella putrefaciens Lactate, pyruvate, acetate, glucose Mediator-less MFC; but incorporating an electron mediator like Mn(IV) or NR into the anode enhanced the electricity production
Streptococcus lactis Glucose Ferric chelate complex as mediators
