N1  - We would like to thank Xiao Qi Ye and Fang Li Luo for providing us with information and experimental data on Arundinella anomala. The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under Grant Agreement No. 226532. In addition this research was funded by SenterNovem, the Dutch governmental agency for sustainability and innovation from the Ministry of Economic Affairs (Grant No. EOSLT06020) and supported by NUON.
AB  - In a Plant Microbial Fuel Cell (P-MFC) three plants were tested for concurrent biomass and bio-electricity production and maximization of power output. Spartina anglica and Arundinella anomala concurrently produced biomass and bio-electricity for six months consecutively. Average power production of the P-MFC with S. anglica during 13weeks was 16% of the theoretical maximum power and 8% during 7weeks for A. anomala. The P-MFC with Arundo donax, did not produce electricity with a stable output, due to break down of the system. The highest obtained power density in a P-MFC was 222mW/m(2) membrane surface area with S. anglica, over twice as high as the highest reported power density in a P-MFC. High biomass yields were obtained in all P-MFC's, with a high root:shoot ratio, probably caused nutrient availability and anaerobia in the soil. Power output maximization via adjusting load on the system lead to unstable performance of the P-MFC.
