Description

Ghada Hegazy and co-authors hunt for bacteria that can raise the voltage of microbial fuel cells fed on seawater and wastewater, in a study from 2025. These cells turn bacterial metabolism into electric current. Finding strong current-making strains in waste streams serves both clean energy and waste treatment.

Four isolates came from surface water, factory wastewater, sea sediment, and fish plant wastewater. Gene reading named each strain. Early tests gave voltages up to about half a volt. A screening design then varied acidity, time, oxygen, dose, and other factors to find what drives output for each strain. Each strain answered to a distinct factor pattern. The models predicted output with high accuracy, supporting the strains as fuel cell candidates.
