ELECTRICITY GENERATION IN MEDIATORLESS MICROBIAL FUEL CELL USING AGROBACTERIUM TUMEFACIENS SU-11 HAVING LACTOSE AND DAIRY WASTE AS CARBON SOURCE

Bioelectricity generation can be done in MFC. In this study, Agrobacterium tumefaciens SU-11 two electrodes with surface area of 2.376 cm2 and 69.5325 cm2 and two different length salt bridge were used for electricity generation in mediator less microbial fuel cell. Two different concentrations of lactose i.e. 2% and 3 % lactose were used as carbon source. More electricity generation was found at 2 % lactose and 2.376 cm2 electrode used MFC. The organism was able to produce around 450 mV while dairy wastewater was used as carbon source.
