The influence of the anode material on the electrical performance of the two microbial fuel cell model organisms Geobacter sulfurreducens and Shewanella oneidensis is investigated. High-surface-area activated carbon and low-surface-area graphite felt are compared in terms of polarization curves under quasi-steady-state conditions. The results underline the importance of tailoring anode materials according to the used organisms.
