Progress in Research of Electrigens in Microbial Fuel Cell
微生物燃料电池中产电微生物的研究进展

Electricigens play an important role in microbial fuel cell (MFC). This review provides an introduction of different electricigens on theirs taxonomical group, biochemical, physiological and morphological characteristics. The ability of electricity production of electricigens and electron transfer mechanisms in microbial fuel cells are also concluded. The prospect of waste water treatment and bio-electricity production is underlined, it is point out in this review that the future research of microorganism for MFC should be focused on enrichment, adaptation, modification and optimization by multi-strains application to improve the performances of MFC.
