Scientists have now found a way to use electricity exhaled by Geobactor to create power grids. Geobacter is a genus of bacteria which generates tiny electric currents by swallowing up organic waste and “exhaling” electrons. Those waste electrons are usually sent underground by Geobactor’s “giant snorkel”.
“Geobacter breathe through what is essentially a giant snorkel, hundreds of times their size,” Nikhil Malvankar, an assistant professor at Yale University’s Microbial Science Institute in Conn…
