Abstract – Reactor type and anode electrode play key role in improving electricity generation in microbial
fuel cells (MFC). In this study, an H-type cylindrical microbial fuel cell was designed and electricity
generation from domestic wastewater was investigated. The anode reactor was operated with 700 ml and
20 ml saccharomyces cerevisiae added as electroactive bacteria in order to increase electricity production.
Nafion 117 membrane was preferred due to its high proton exchange capacity. Graphite rod was used as
anode and cathode electrode and the reactor was operated with 1 kΩ resistor. Voltage measurements were
continuously done during 12 days of this operation. As a result of this study; maximum voltage and
maximum power density values obtained 718,4 mV and 157,82 mW/m2
, respectively. From the obtained
results, it is clear that the H-type cylindrical reactor design and graphite rod electrode are promising for
electricity generation in MFC.
