abstract = "The widespread adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) networks is hindered by the lack of reliable and sustainable power sources. Traditional batteries are expensive, environmentally harmful, and impractical for many applications, particularly in remote environments. While energy harvesting techniques offer alternatives, they often face challenges related to integration, safety, and inconsistent performance. This research presents a successful integration of a miniaturized, microbial fuel cell (MFC) array powered by photosynthetic electrogenic bacteria. Our MFC array enabled us to effectively power a long-range LORA wireless system for data transmission over distances of approximately 750 meters. The compact and environmentally friendly design of our MFC array allows for seamless integration into remote ecosystems, providing a sustainable and reliable energy source for IoT nodes in such environments. This innovation has the potential to unlock the full potential of IoT networks in various applications, including environmental monitoring and underwater exploration.",
