Three parts of my research.

About me:

My name is Shakson Isaac I am a sophomore at Mililani High School. I have been working on Microbial Fuel Cells since 6th grade and truly believe that Microbial Fuel Cells can become the next renewable energy source.

​

​

What are Microbial Fuel Cells?

​

Microbial Fuel Cells are bio-electrochemical systems that rely on bacterial interactions. There are two types of Microbial Fuel one type is mediated Microbial Fuel Cells which use inactive microbes and are facilitated through chemicals and the other is mediator-free or mediator less Microbial Fuel Cells which use electrochemically active bacteria to make electricity.

​

​

My Research:

​

My long-term research is based on determining whether bacterial interactions (isolated vs communities), bacterial metabolisms have an effect on MFC electrical production. Other future research will be determining whether certain genes in certain species of bacteria allow them to generate more electricity and if these genes can be expressed.
