Popis: Seasonal leachate from both sealed and operating landfill in the identical district were employed as the sole substrate in the Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to evaluate the power output performance and aqueous organic waste disposal. The electrical performance was characterized to study the power generation, while the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) removal ratio and Coulombic Efficiency (CE) were calculated to illustrate the substrate disposal effect. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) on the operated anode was conducted to preliminarily explain the microbial community difference, and the phylogenetic tree constructed on the cultivated microorganism was an insight into the dominant bacteria suitable for leachate degradation. It was found that the MFCs inoculated with seasonal leachate from both sealed and operating landfill could generate electricity successfully. Although the fresh leachate-inoculated MFCs had better electrical output performance (22.7-25.6 W/m
