Bacillus sp. BVB01AS Electrogenin the two chamber microbial fuel cell

The various parameters were studied for the MFC inoculated with nano-wire forming electrogen Bacillus sp. BVB01to check their effect on the bioelectricity generation. It was observed that mineral media M6 produced highest bioelectricity of 1461.18mW/m2 (470.5mV, 0.005mA and 3.1mA/m2) on the 6th day of the MFC operation at highest external resistance of 100K. Also, it was recorded that on the optimization of various factors, a significant bioelectricity generation of 373739.13mW/m2 (245.6mV, 2.45mA and 1521.73mA/m2) was observed from the electrogen Bacillus sp. BVB01 on the 26th day at 100Ω was recorded. It was inferred that the bioelectricity production was directly proportional to the biofilm and biomass accumulated at the anode and anolyte of the MFCs.
