Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) are the special devices which are been used to produce electricity by anaerobic fermentation of organic as well as inorganic matter from easily metabolized biomass to complex wastewater using microbes as biocatalysts. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical catalytic activity of microbes to produce electricity from the oxidation of organic, substrates under natural condition. There is an increasing interest in photosynthetic MFCs designed to harness Earth's most abundant and promising energy source. Despite their MFCs havent yet successfully translated into commercial applications because they demonstrate persistent performance limitations and bottlenecks associated with scaling up. micro scale MFCs have received attention as a singular platform for various applications like powering small portable electronic elements in remote locations, fundamental studies of microorganisms, screening bacterial strains, toxicity detection in water. MFC is a great technology which can be used in the Modern World for generation of electricity and concomitant wastewater treatmentt.
