Nowadays, bio-fuel cells which utilize microbes are widely noticed. In this study, the authors made a bio-fuel cell and performed experiments under various conditions in order to explore the possibility of its practical use. Moreover, the authors tried to utilize microbes in a direct-generation type polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). Usually, this type of PEFC uses liquid fuels such as methanol. As a result, it was found that the bio-fuel cell with harmless microbes such as yeast and lactic acid bacteria was able to generate electricity although the output power was very low. When yeast was used along with aqueous solution of sugar in the passive-type PEFC, the output power was much larger than the bio-fuel cell.
