This article describes the microbial electricity production by microbial fuel cells attached to an electrode. Research indicates that Geobacter sulfurreducens enhance the effectiveness of microbial fuel cells by attaching to electrodes and oxidizing organic substrates with transfer of electrons to an electrode quantitatively.
