He uses bacteria to create electricity

Scientists at the University of Leeds (UK) said, bacteria can be used to generate electricity, because they can use light or hydrogen gas as fuel to produce electricity.

This energy source will be applied in practice and has the potential to become a cheap and clean energy source.

Researchers say they have focused on bacterial enzymes, because they can use light or hydrogen gas to produce energy.

Dr. Lars Jeuken, the head of the research team, revealed that the technology for producing electrical signals through chemical reactions has been used commercially.

However, it is very difficult to develop biofuel cells effectively to become a sufficient supply of electricity in everyday life. Because previous research systems only have very limited control of the role of interaction between inorganic substances and biological molecules.

Jeuken said the new study will incorporate advanced concepts in many areas of research such as surface physics, colloids and organic chemistry, biofilm and electrochemical.

Their goal is to create an electrode that can control the overall biochemical reaction. This reaction needs to be done in biofuel cells, so that cells can produce electricity.

In the field of microbial fuel cell research, there is a tendency to combine bio-synthesis and nanotechnology, to create more advanced equipment.

Researchers say they are conducting testing in this way.
