Abstract excerpt
External resistance affects the performance of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) by controlling the flow of electrons from the anode to the cathode. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of external resistance on bacterial diversity and metabolism in MFCs. Four external resistances (20, 249, 480, and 1000 Ω) were tested by operating parallel MFCs independently at constant circuit loads for 10 weeks. A...
