(Source: forbes.com) This could lead to more efficient microbial fuel cells Scientists have found that clean electricity can be derived from bacteria thanks to an electron transfer method similar to that found in cells. The research was conducted by scientists from the University of East Anglia and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Dr. Tom Clarke from the University of East Anglia led the study. The research team used a synthetic version of Shewanella oneidensis, which is a member of a marine bacteria family. Proteins on the surface of this kind of bacteria are capable of generating an electric current just by...
