abstract = "Recently we demonstrated a microbial fuel cell in which photosynthesis appears to convert internally generated carbon dioxide and water to fuel and oxygen. The significance of this result is at least twofold. First, it suggests that microbial fuel cells incorporating photosynthetic species (termed {"}solar microbial fuel cells{"}) could be configured in which the electrode reactants are photosynthetically regenerated from the electrode products. Such microbial fuel cells could continuously generate power from sunlight without additional fuel or oxidant. Secondly, it suggests that microbial fuel cells could accumulate fuel and oxidant during the day for power generation at night. Such microbial fuel cells could address the solar energy storage conundrum. Here we report our most recent results of our ongoing investigation of the solar microbial fuel cell focusing on the electrode half-reactions and internal chemical fluxes.",
