Who isn’t in favor of free electron collection and use?
This reminds me of the processes used by extremophile bacteria in places like the Dead Sea.
Very interesting...
“”This study will aid in designing a bacterial platform where bacteria can feed on electricity and carbon dioxide to produce value-added compounds such as biofuels.”
I thought this thread was about stealing elections.
,,,,Getting the electricity across the outer layer of the bacteria is the key challenge,,,,, the naturally occurring strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 builds a conduit to accept electrons across its outer membrane.....
Biofuel production is good, What are the medical implications in treating resistant bacteria? A non-toxic conduit across the membrane means a wide open door. Wow. Or creating a cell-based electronically driven robot arm or leg? or?
Sounds like a Roger Corman movie.
I know most people think - how can we harness this for clean energy. My first thought was a electron treading bacteria bomb. Maybe it’s just me.
“Life, Captain. But not as we know it.”
Give a microbe an electron, it will eat for a day. Teach a microbe to harvest electrons.....
