A fungal biofilm has been successfully elaborated in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) device for the first time as a carbon felt colonized by a filamentous fungus denoted Scedosporium dehoogii. The elaborated biofilm was then used as bioanode in an APAP/O-2 novel hybrid microbial fuel cell. The cathode was a carbon felt modified with poly-Ni(II)-tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine (poly-NiTSPc) replacing advantageously the classical Pt/Air cathode. The fabricated MFC showed APAP as an efficient model fuel organic micropollutant for this novel MFC, with highly stable output performances offering a power density at 6.5 mW m(-2) under an EMF +450 mV under physiological conditions.
