One object is to provide a measuring device configured to evaluate the power generation characteristics of a response-delay type fuel cell automatically, precisely, and with excellent reproducibility with consideration of the response delay against power load fluctuations, and effectively acclimatize and develop microorganisms that are provided to generate power. A potentio-galvanostat is connected to a microbial fuel cell provided as an exemplary response-delay type fuel cell. Further, an automatic measuring device is connected to the potentio-galvanostat. The automatic measuring device has a program function and measures the internal resistance of the microbial fuel cell at set time. The internal resistance measurement is executed through the automatic measuring device that instructs the potentio-galvanostat to change a current value flowing to the microbial fuel cell and that repeatedly executes the process of measuring and recording a voltage value of the microbial fuel cell and the current value while changing a current control value in stages after the voltage value is stabilized.

[PROBLEMS] To provide a microbial fuel cell whose parts can be replaced without lowering the energy recovery efficiency and a membrane cassette for microbial fuel cells. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A negative electrode (10) supporting anaerobic microorganisms (11) is immersed in an organic substrate (S). A positive electrode (15) sealed together with an electrolyte (D) in a closed hollow cassette (20) having an outer shell (25) at least a part of which is formed of an ion-permeable membrane (21), an inlet (22), and an outlet (23) or connected to the inner side of an ion-permeable membrane (21) is inserted into the organic substrate (S). While oxygen (O) is supplied into the cassette (20) through the inlet (22) and the outlet (23), electricity is taken out through a circuit (18) electrically interconnecting the negative and positive electrodes (10, 15). Preferably, the outer shell (25) of the closed hollow cassette (20) is a hollow outer shell frame (25) having an opening (26) which is closed by stretching an ion-permeable membrane (21), an inlet (22), and an outlet (23), and the ion-permeable membrane (21) is a membrane/electrode assembly (MEA) formed integrally with the positive electrode (15).
