Abstract
This article reviews the advances that were made towards the understanding and the improvement of electron transfer and communication between living cells and electrodes with a specific emphasis on microbial fuel cells and bioelectrical systems. It summarizes the efforts that were made thus far to improve electron transfer between microorganisms and electrodes using the genetically based understanding of electron transfer in such organisms and the manipulations that can be performed to improve the transfer and subsequently control over power output. Future directions in the field are also reviewed and suggested in this article.

## Abstract The paper reports results of a mediatorless microbial fuel cell (MFC), utilising waste carbohydrate (manure) as a fuel, which did not use a catalyst or a proton exchange membrane and is thus environmentally friendly (by using no toxic substances) in treating waste. The cell used a manur
OVERVIEW: Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are an emerging technology which directly converts chemical energy stored in organic matter to electricity. Driven by the increasing concern over the energy-climate crisis and environment pollution, MFCs have been developed rapidly in the past decade. Currently,
