| − | The major challenges concerning us over global energy supply originates from the rapid depletion of fossil fuels which we are facing; as such there is an urgent demand for innovative solutions to produce regenerative energy. Thus our project aims to apply a genetic engineering approach towards developing a manner of generating electricity with the use of bacteria within a microbial fuel cell. We take traditional microbial fuel cell (MFC) designs and modify them to create a biological photovoltaic cell (BPV). By using cyanobacteria in our BPV, we can extract the energy that has been harvested from light. This has the potential to be a future sustainable and eco-friendly practice for the production of renewable energy. However, a major pitfall of the use of the BPV as a form of bioelectricity generation is the fact that it has low efficiency and thus this was an obstacle which we aimed to overcome in our design.
