Ecolectricity - currently available


Electric energy by genetically modified E. coli
in a self-designed and -constructed Microbial Fuel Cell



Project

Project

This year the iGEM team 2013 decided to do research on microbial fuel cells (MFC). This project includes genetical modification of ''Escherichia coli'' and engineering of a suitable fuel cell to gain electricity.
