Less biomass and intracellular glutamate in anodic biofilms lead to efficient electricity generation by microbial fuel cells

Abstract Background Using a microbial fuel cell (MFC), we observed that a complex microbial community decomposed starch and transferred electrons to a graphite felt anode to generate current. In spite of the same reactor configuration, inoculum, substrate, temperature, and pH, MFCs produced differen...
