Power from Bacteria i.e, Bio-Battery' Breakthrough

Defenetly power cut will reduces in future .......

How?Guess ...

Bacteria could soon be acting as microscopic "bio-batteries".

• The team of scientists has laid bare the power-generating mechanism used by well-known marine bacteria.

• Before now it was not clear whether the bacteria directly conducted an electrical charge themselves or used something else to do it.

• Unpicking the process opens the door to using the bacteria as an in-situ, robust power source.

"This was the final part of the puzzle," said Dr Tom Clarke, a lecturer at the school of biological sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA), who led the research. UEA collaborated with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington on the research project.

  Dr Clarke said:

          "Scientists noticed that the levels of iron and manganese in the lake changed with the seasons and were co-ordinated with the growth patterns of the bacteria"

   Future enhancements:

         "It's very useful as a model system," he said. "They are very robust, we can be quite rough with then in the lab and they will put up with it.
