Martin is an instructor in the project UNITN-Trento iGEM. UNITN-Trento iGEM team 2015 has a wonderful idea to change the way people think about Microbial Fuel Cells. We attempted to improve the MFC platform by exploiting the power of the sun and the versatility of E. coli, so we added new interesting features to build a “Solar pMFC”.
