Description

Monitor the voltage generated by a biological fuel cell, using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A simple sugar will be used as a food source for the yeast and methylene blue will be employed as an electron mediator. The cell will be constructed without the mediator and a baseline voltage will be established as some electrochemical activity will be occurring. Once the cell has stabilized, the mediator will be added and the effect on voltage will be monitored and recorded using a Neulog™ Voltage sensor.There are enough materials for 15 set ups.
