Abstract

To generate energy, microbes use diverse mechanisms to transfer electrons. Microorganisms oxidize organic matters to produce electrons in electrochemical system. The microorganisms are related to the transferring of electrons that occur directly or indirectly. Microbial fuel cells have various applications. This chapter will summarize knowledge on microbial electrochemical systems, electron transport, and the diverse application of biofilm.
