Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), that remove carbon as well as nitrogen compounds out of wastewater are of special interest for practice. In a microbial fuel cell (MFC), power can be generated from the oxidation of organic matter by bacteria at the anode, with reduction of oxygen at the cathode. Proton exchange membranes used in MFCs are permeable to oxygen, resulting in the diffusion of oxygen into the anode chamber. In this contribution we demonstrate electricity production by Sugar Industry Waste Water using Saccharomyces cerevisae. By combining Methylene Blue, a greater current generated from waste water. Up to 10.45 mA Current was achieved in 10 days of operation.
