Electrogenic and electron accepting capability of some bacteria strains, are important phenomena which promises advances in the fields of electronically stimulated biotechnological production of valuable chemicals, wastewater treatment, bioremediation, desalination, energy production, novel materials discovery and whole-cell biosensing. Significant boost towards this direction can be achieved with application of high throughput methods known from other biological disciplines. However there is currently a lack of standard and reliable hardware which would enable the same approach in the field of electrogenic bacteria. Thus we present a platform based on standard Microplate setup with 24 or 96 single chamber air-cathode Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) with integrated reference electrode inside each chamber [1,2]. All electrodes are individually addressable by custom multichannel potentiostat capable of performing standard electrochemical measurements including Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. The device enables the direct and parallel comparative analysis of microbes from different sources or under different conditions such as electrode potential, pH and growth medium.
