Microbial fuel cell (MFC) can convert the chemical energy of organic matter in wastewater into electrical energy with high degradation efficiency. In this study, a type of specialized microorganism, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, was screened and added to an MFC to promote the degradation of wastewater generated during the production of cytidine acid while improving the performance of the MFC. The MFC achieved a maximum voltage of 57.7 ± 4.4 mV and a maximum power density of 1.9 ± 0.1 mW/m
