The structure of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) reactor was analyzed and improved by Reverse Engineering (RE) and Rapid Prototyping (RP) technology. Points cloud data of MFC reactor was accessed by hand-held laser scanner. The space surface and entity model were reconstructed accurately, and the structure of the reactor was optimized based on Imageware and Solidworks software. The reactor model was manufactured by RP machine. The optimization efficiency of MFC reactor was improved based on the combination of RE and RP, which has a good reference value for the development of MFC technology and products.

Renewable energy will have an important role as a resource of energy in the future. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a promising method to obtain electricity from organic matter andwastewater treatment simultaneously. In a pilot study, use of microbial fuel cell for wastewater treatment and electricity generation investigated. The bacteria of ruminant used as inoculums. Synthetic wastewater used at different organic loading rate. Hydraulic retention time was aneffective factor in removal of soluble COD and more than 49% removed. Optimized HRT to achieve the maximum removal efficiency and sustainable operation could be regarded 1.5 and 2.5 hours. Columbic efficiency (CE) affected by organic loading rate (OLR) and by increasing OLR, CE reduced from 71% to 8%. Maximum voltage was 700mV. Since the microbial fuel cell reactor considered as an anaerobic process, it may be an appropriate alternative for wastewater treatment

Abstract. Khoirunnisa NS, Anwar S, Santosa DA. 2020. Isolation and selection of cellulolytic bacteria from rice straw for consortium of microbial fuel cell. Biodiversitas 21: 1686-1696. Cellulose such as in rice straw can be utilized as an organic substrate in Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to generate electricity by microorganisms as a biocatalyst. This research aimed to get cellulose-degrading bacteria with high capability to degrade rice straw and able to be used as consortium with exoelectrogen bacteria in Microbial Fuel Cell. The stages of research included: (i) isolation of the bacteria using carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) agar medium, (ii) selection of the isolates for that purpose, (iii) enzyme assay and MFC performance test, and (iv) identification of selected isolate. There were 125 isolates that were obtained. Selection based on the ability to degrade cellulose as indicated by clear zone on CMC medium resulted in 23 isolates. Ten isolates belong to anaerobic facultative bacteria were selected. Three of them were synergistic with exoelectrogen bacteria. The three isolates were tested for exoglucanase (Avicel) and total enzyme activity (Filter Paper) with the highest results were 6.21 U/mL (isolate J404) and 5.88 U/mL (isolate J401), respectively. The optimum MFC performance was achieved by one isolate, J401, which produced highest voltage of 40.8 mV and a power density of 0.33 mW/m2. The best isolate, J401, was identified as Xanthomonas translucens based on 16S rRNA method.

Strain SD-1 is the type strain of the species Geobacter anodireducens , which was originally isolated from a microbial fuel cell reactor in the United States. The characteristic of this bacterium is its high electrochemical activity. Here, we report the fully assembled genome and plasmid sequence of G. anodireducens SD-1 T .
