Manufacturing and agriculture could use their biological waste as a source of cleaner, more sustainable energy. The scientists identified bacteria that can produce ethanol and 1-butanol, […]

They have known just that it can produce electric energy when mixed with seawater and mud, leading to the development of microbial fuel cells.
