The purpose of our study was to determine the effects of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng) on anaerobic degradation of cellobiose in an MFC. We ultimately used a H-shape cell MFC design to maintain anaerobic conditions in the anode chamber and compared cellobiose degradation rates in MFCs with complete and incomplete (control) electrical circuits. We determined that cellobiose degradation is significantly enhanced in an MFC with Ginseng compared to control MFCs.
