14. Electromicrobiology
1988-Geobacter can recover organic pollutants and heavy metals and consume iron oxide in the environment.
Alteromonas putrefaciens could convert solid manganese to soluble matter, and since it could grow in aerobic conditions, it was easy to work.

15. How to transfer electrons from bacterial membranes?
Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 nanowires

16. Use microbial fuel cell for Wastewater treatment
Heavy metals & Sulfide is a very dangerous ion that is commonly found in waste water.

17. Applications of MCF cell
Wastewater such as:
Household wastewater
Food wastewater such as:
Dairy
Starch production
Chocolate
Rice processing
Cereals
Brewing
Meat processing …
biological computers

18. Using Xanthan 80 (SF) on enhancing the Performance of Solid Microbial Fuel Cell
Xanthan 80(SF) can enhance the power performance of SMFC significantly because of its excellent ability on keeping the compost moist throughout and preventing the gravitational effect from the accumulation of water at the bottom of the chamber.
These findings will be useful to modification of SMFC in the future.
