| description | Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative energy method. MFC technology has gained much interest in recent decades owing to its effectiveness in remediating wastewater and generating bioelectricity. The microbial fuel cell generates energy mainlybecause of oxidation-reduction reactions. In this reaction, electrons were transferred between two reactants. Bioinformatics is expanding across a wide range of microbial fuel cell technology. Electroactive species in the microbial community were evaluated using bioinformatics methodologies in whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, transcriptomics, metagenomics, and phylogenetics. Technology advancements in microbial fuel cells primarily produce power from organic and inorganic waste from various sources. Reduced chemical oxygen demand and waste degradation are two added advantages for microbial fuel cells. From plants, bacteria, and algae, microbial fuel cells were developed. Due to the rapid advancement of sequencing techniques, bioinformatics approaches are currently widely used in the technology of microbial fuel cells. In addition, they play an important role in determining the composition of electroactive species in microorganisms. The metabolic pathway is also possible to determine with bioinformatics resources. A computational technique that reveals the nature of the mediators and the substrate was also used to predict the electrochemical properties. Computational strategies were used to tackle significant challenges in experimental procedures, such as optimization and understanding microbiological systems. The main focus of this review is on utilizing bioinformatics techniques to improve microbial fuel cell technology. |
