| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices that use microorganisms as biocatalysts to directly convert chemical energy to electricity. MFCs are considered to be useful when used with organic waste treatment processes, because electricity is generated from organic wastes. In this study, MFCs were further used to produce antibiotic substances as well as electroricity, and made it possible to co-produce electricity and an antibiotic substance.
