Optimization of co-culture inoculated microbial fuel cell performance using response surface methodology

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are considered as promising technology to achieve simultaneous wastewater treatment and electricity generation. However, operational and technological developments are still required to make it as a sustainable technology. In the present study, response surface methodolog...
