A fuel cell capable of directly abstracting electric power from polysaccharides, such as starch. Fuel electrode (1) is produced by fixing on electrode of carbon, etc. (11) by means of a fixative an enzyme participating in decomposition of polysaccharides to monosaccharides, an enzyme participating in decomposition of formed monosaccharides, a coenzyme (e.g., NAD<+>, NADP<+>, etc.) whose reduced form is produced in accordance with an oxidation reaction during the process of monosaccharide decomposition, a coenzyme oxidase (e.g., diaphorase) capable of oxidizing the reduced form of coenzyme (e.g., NADH, NADPH, etc.), and an electron mediator (e.g., ACNQ, vitamin K3, etc.) capable of receiving electrons generated by the coenzyme oxidation from the coenzyme oxidase and delivering the same to the electrode (11). The fuel electrode (1) is disposed opposite to air electrode (5) through electrolyte layer (3) to thereby construct a fuel cell.
