Scientists at University of East Anglia has discovered something that could lead to microbes generating electricity. The scientist has found the exact molecule structure of the protein can allows bacteria cells to transfer electricity. With this information, they might be able to use this information to let the bacteria to directly generate electrodes. This new information also could help the development of microbe based agents to clean up oil and pollution. In an earlier research, the same group showed how some bacteria lived in a oxygen free environments by making electric wire into a mineral.
This new information is really amazing. Bacteria that can generate electricity? So many things can happen with ability. It could change how the whole world works and how it gets its energy. The scientist only found some info on maybe how this is possible, but I believe it can be done.
