Isolation and assessment of fungi derived from wastewater for sustainable energy generation.
Article in Folia microbiologica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Urbanization has intensified the demand for different sustainable energy-generating solutions. One promising approach is the treatment of wastewater using electrochemical setups. A microbial fuel cell (MFC), an electrochemical setup, can be highly effective for wastewater treatment as it simultaneously generates bioelectricity. This study focuses on the isolation, characterization, and evaluation of electrogenic fungal species from wastewater samples (WWS) collected from the Uttarakhand region. Using the potentiostat, an electrochemical workstation, we screened a total of 70 different fungal isolates and identified 10 distinct fungal strains as potent current generators. Morphological characterization of these strains revealed several fungal structures, including hyphae and spores. The most potent fungi were further analyzed based on Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplification and genomic sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. The obtained sequences were subjected to Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) analysis, and the corresponding fungal isolates were assigned genus names after comparison with representative sequences available in GeneBank. ITS sequencing for the top three potent fungi revealed their highest resemblance to Aspergillus flavus (99.09%), Diaporthe caryae isolate KM 19 (96.18%), and Montagnula donacina (100.00%). Among these, the strain closely related to Aspergillus flavus demonstrated the highest current output. This isolate has been successfully submitted to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database under the accession number PX226319. The selected strain will be integrated into a dual-chambered microbial fuel cell (DC-MFC) system to evaluate its bioelectric performance under optimized conditions. Overall, this research established a foundation for identifying the potent fungal strains from local microbial communities present in wastewater for sustainable energy production.
