Abstract
This contribution considers the origins, principles and recent literature published on enzymatic biofuel cells, with a focus on performance and stability. Modified or new biofuel cell components, such as modified electrodes, new enzymes and the use of new mediators to improve power output and stability are reviewed. The development of biofuel cells to date leaves huge potential for further improvement and practical application. Cooperation between different fields of science is essential to realise important potential applications in human health and power generation; future research needs to achieve this are discussed.

A mediated amperometric sensor for measuring rglutamate is described. The sensor is based on a carbon paste electrode containing the electron transfer mediator tetrathiafulvalene (TTF), and the enzyme L-glutamate oxidase immobilixed on the electrode surface. The enzyme is crosslinked with glutaralde
