determine duration of one fed-batch cycle in MFC/MEC

You can set a criterion yourself, since there is nothing standardized. You have 2 good indicators tho: 1) current (density) and 2) substrate concentration. As a sort of thumb rule, do not let any of them to fall below 10% of their respective maximum level, for a fast 'recovery' of the target activity.
