To use cellulose to create electricity in thermophilic microbial electrolysis cells, an enhanced mixed culture of thermophilic (60°C) bacteria was put together (MECs). For the production of the current, cellulose was fermented into sugars and acids by anode-respiring bacteria (ARB).
What is Thermophilic bacteria ?
The naturally occurring thermophilic bacteria, which may be found in hot springs and compost piles, are also present in cool soil habitats and can be triggered to break down chemicals when the temperature is raised to 60°C (140°F).
