Abstract

There have been analyzed the basic designs of microbial fuel cells used in laboratory studies. Their main advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of design principle of bioelectrochemical system depending on the destination, purpose and scope of the study has been shown in the article. The ways of culturing microorganisms-exoelectrogenes have been also reviewed.
