Taiwanese scientists have discovered a new bacterium that reduces iron, treats waste and generates electricity.
In an experiment, Liu noted, when fed three liters of lactic acid, the NTOU1 bacteria in a one-cubic-meter container were able to produce 50 watts electricity for two days.
“Further improvements would make possible the NTOU1 strain-based biofuel cell,” said Liu, adding that for every family, such a solution could provide electricity for the household while meeting waste treatment needs.
