This document discusses microbial fuel cells and the potential for microorganisms like Geobacteraceae bacteria to generate electricity from organic matter. Geobacteraceae bacteria are able to transfer electrons extracellularly to an anode in microbial fuel cells through direct contact, soluble electron shuttles, or along protein-rich structures like pili. This allows microbial fuel cells to harness bacteria like Geobacter sulfurreducens to convert complex organic fuels into electricity through oxidation of organic compounds and transfer of electrons to the anode. Microbial fuel cells show promise for power generation, education, biosensing, and powering underwater devices.
