Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Selected strains of alkalophilic Bacillus organisms showed a remarkable ability for reducing "redox" mediator reagents, and were used as biocatalysts in the anode compartment of a redox-mediated microbial fuel cell. Substantial generation of electricity from oxidation of glucose as the fuel-substrate was demonstrated, particularly at the optimum growth pH.
