What backs it

Researchers at Binghamton University have developed a microbial fuel cell inspired by intestinal villi that generates over eight times more electricity per unit volume than a comparable flat design, using living microorganisms to convert chemical energy in organic matter into electricity.

Worth noting

Laboratory prototype; real-world deployment in wastewater systems or other applications remains to be demonstrated.
