Oxygen biocathode based on laccase Pleurotus ostreatus HK-35 for biofuel cell

The main reasons that make mankind look for new sources of energy are decreasing dependence on fossil fuels and reducing pollution. Wastewater treatment with the help of microbial fuel cells is an area where these two goals can be combined. Microbial fuel cells, in which microorganisms catalyze the oxidation of organic substances, represent a new and promising alternative for electricity generation. The creation of an efficient cathode in such systems is the important problem. It is evident that in these applications an oxygen (air) electrode is a promising cathode.
