United States scientists found in freshwater ponds in a kind of bacteria can be used to generate electricity. The bacteria can break down organic pollutants, but also resistant to a wide variety of harsh environments.
United States Carolina's Charlie · Millikan 7 day in Atlanta, United States society for Microbiology publishes report on the annual meeting, said that the concept of power generation using micro-organisms are not rare, with several research groups are working on a microbial fuel cell development. But they found two difference: first generation of bacteria belonging to the desulfurization of family, the family of bacteria in fresh water is widespread, but has been humans used to eliminate the sulphur of organic pollutants; and second, in the external environment is unfavourable or nutrient deficiencies, desulfurization bacteria can become spore Spore, which can give rise to strong radiation of high temperature, and other harsh environment, once the environmentally friendly and can grow into a normal state of strain.
Millikan's experiment shows such as people, with the bacteria into the fuel cell, as long as there is adequate Organics as "food sources", battery bacteria can break down food and continuing through to release a charged particle. Researchers say this bacterial decomposition of organic pollutants, with the added power jeopardizing. They felt that this outcome is in the field of microbial generation progress.
