Moontanman Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 New Microbe Strain Makes More Electricity, FasterScienceDaily (Aug. 3, 2009) — In their most recent experiments with Geobacter, the sediment-loving microbe whose hairlike filaments help it to produce electric current from mud and wastewater, Derek Lovley and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts Amherst supervised the evolution of a new strain that dramatically increases power output per cell and overall bulk power. It also works with a thinner biofilm than earlier strains, cutting the time to reach electricity-producing concentrations on the electrode. New Microbe Strain Makes More Electricity, Faster Quote
