Microbial fuel cell (MFC)attracts growing efforts as a kind of environmentally friendly biotechnology. This study examined effects of the bio-factors (anode inoculums species, inoculums concentration), as well as abio-factors (cathode electron acceptor and proton exchange material)on electricity production of a dual-chamber mediatorless MFC in fed-batch mode. MFCs inoculated with pure culture (Rhodoferax ferrireducens)and mixed culture (activated sludge)obtained the close peak voltages of around 0.18 V and had the similar coulombic yields of about 75 C using monosodium glutamate wastewater (MGW)as substrate. MFCs with different concentrations of inoculums (5
