Development of a Microbial Fuel Cell Using <i>Methylococcus</i> <i>Chroococcus</i> Bacteria as a Biocatalyst

Methane is an extensively accessible green energy that can be obtained organically just by way of through natural gases. However, using methane in fuel at ambient temperature conditions is quite challenging, due to its high thermodynamically stability. In this present investigation, the feasibility...
