Welcome to the world
of Electric Microbes
Meet the electricigens
Microbes are everywhere, from the bottom of the sea to our own gut. But did you know that a lot of these microbes can generate and use electrical energy?
Meet the electroactive microorganism, which grows on electrodes. They can generate biofuels, work as an environmental sensor, and clean up our wastewater and soils.
