This paper gives overview of research activities, performed by our team, in the field of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs). Evolution of construction, performance and application of MFCs is presented. The path towards optimization of the performance led through design and construction of the cell and was followed by investigation of impact of different sediments containing different microbial communities. The sediment samples were collected from two locations in Serbia, confluence of rivers Sava and Danube in Belgrade and the acid mine drainage lake “Robule” in the copper mine Bor. Results of verified application in wastewater treatment are discussed.
