Abstract
The application of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) for electricity generation has been developing recently. In recent years, researchers have shown that MFC can be used to produce electricity from water containing glucose, acetate or lactate. This research explores the application of Single ch amber MFC in generating electricity using different waste water mixed with vermicompost from Jabalpur. In order to obtain the aim of this research, a system of MFC with microbes has been used. Based on the result of different types of waste water samples with vermicompost, it found that the maximum voltage generated among all the three combinations is 385 mV at day five by waste water of biscuit factory mixed with vermicompost. The potential difference generated by the MFC was measured using multimete
