Abstract

Key findings

  • Soil can generate electricity in microbial fuel cells with a maximum power density of 1.5 W/m².
  • Exoelectrogenic bacteria isolated from soil sources exhibit high current densities and can sustain power generation over extended periods.
  • The isolated bacteria are identified as Pseudomonas and Bacillus species, which are known to have exoelectrogenic properties.
