MICROBIAL FUEL CELL, FUEL AND MICROBE FOR THE FUEL CELL, AND BIOREACTOR AND BIOSENSOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for increasing an output of a microbial fuel cell.

SOLUTION: There is provided a microbial fuel cell using a polyol, such as glycerol, as fuel, and microbes, in which an enzyme catalyzing an oxidation-reduction reaction is introduced by genetic modification, on the negative electrode side. In the microbial fuel cell, a high output can be obtained by maintaining the microbes, in which an enzyme, such as diaphorase, catalyzing an oxidation-reduction reaction is introduced by genetic modification, on the negative electrode side, thereby accelerating a rate of the reaction.
