The effects of harmful bacteria make a shock to many countries including Egypt . They can cause serious health problems. One example is severe diarrheal disease that can be fatal if left untreated. . Additionally, bacteria can contribute to environmental pollution particularly water pollution which found in higher concentration in the Nile River and the Mediterranean Sea with untreated sewage and agricultural runoff containing harmful chemicals, pesticides, and fertilizers being discharged directly into water bodies. The pollution has led to the degradation of water quality, harm to aquatic life, and negative impacts on human health. Also Egypt has a shortage in sustainable energy So these problems inspired us to make a project which treat all of these challenges we did a project link between microorganisms and electrochemistry as it was biological fuel cells or BFCs which the use of microorganisms for transferring electrons to an electrode and degrade organic material and transmit electrons to an anode in the system. An electric current is created when electrons go through a conductive material and strike a cathode. This electric current can either be used immediately or conserved for later use. We used many eco-friendly materials during construction and followed safety precautions. We got two recycled plastic boxes to act like two different connected anaerobic and aerobic cells, two aluminum electrodes, an anode and a cathode, and connected them using an electric wire, to make the electric current flow, Aeromonas spp bacteria to purify the contaminated water and produce voltage, and a canvas rope to act like a salt bridge. In the first plastic box, we put an aluminum electrode inside it and made the Aeromonas spp bacteria in contact with the electrode that feeds on sugar water and we closed the box tightly using paraffin wax to be an anaerobic cell. In the second plastic box, we put another aluminum electrode and contaminated water and we punched holes in the lid of the plastic box to let the oxygen enters and be an aerobic cell. After preparing each cell in suitable conditions, we connected them using a canvas rope wrapped in adhesive plaster to be insulated and keep the moving water from evaporation. The electrons generated at the anode travel via the conducting wire to the cathode, and along the way they can be used to power a light bulb in the cathode, the electrons recombine with the protons and with oxygen to create pure water, and thus we have a green way to generate electricity and purify contaminated water by using wastes and recycled materials. One of some difficuties that faced us is how to increase the power output which include the percentage of water filtration and produced current But we tried to increase the efficiency and The power output of BFC can be increased by reducing the distance between the two electrodes if the reactors are operated in continuous flow mode with advective flow through the anode toward the cathode and by making pores in the two electrodes. Also, it can increase by the type of the bacteria that is used in the process which we will use Aeromonas spp bacteria because its ability to degrade a variety of pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phenols, and pesticides.
