Abstract
Microbial growth on the anode and intracellular glutamate levels negatively affect electricity generation by MFCs. Reduced formation of anodic biofilm, in which intracellular glutamate concentration is 33.9 μmol g-cell -1 or less, favors the growth of acetate-utilizing Geobacter sp. on the anode and improves current generation.
