Popis: To simulate acetate consumption and electricity generation in a cycle of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) treating synthetic acetate-based wastewater with low concentration, nonelectrogenic bacteria (NEB), which had no contribution in electricity generation, was incorporated with methanogen's kinetic parameters into a previous biofilm model proposed by Marcus et al. (Biotechnol Bioeng 98:1171-1182, 2007). However, the Coulombic efficiency was estimated to be 40.1%, whereas the experiment showed 13.6%, as the presence of NEB was obviously underestimated. Thus, the maximum NEB reaction rate (q
