Summary:
Operate microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with selected electrochemically-active isolates oxidizing biomass sugars in the anode chamber and an electrochemically-assisted electrolysis step producing hydrogen in the cathode chamber. We will carry out the necessary electrochemical and chemical analysis to determine maximum hydrogen yields from different sugars.
