Effect of light on the production of bioelectricity and added-value microalgae ...
Gouveia, Luisa; Neves, Carole; Sebastião, Diogo; Nobre, B. P.; Matos, Cristina T.This study demonstrates the simultaneous production of bioelectricity and added-value pigments in a Photosynthetic Alga Microbial Fuel Cell (PAMFC). A PAMFC was operated using Chlorella vulgaris in the cathode compartment and a bacterial consortium in the anode. The system was studied at two different light intensities and the maximum power produced was 62.7 mW/m2 with a light intensity of 96 lE/(m2 s). The res...
