Microbes Plus Sugars Equals Hydrogen Fuel? (10/28/2007)

Microbes Plus Sugars Equals Hydrogen Fuel?Wanted: Bacterium that can eat sugar or sludge; must be team player or electrochemically active; ability to survive without oxygen, a plus. ...> Full Article



Cow-Powered Fuel Cells Grow Smaller, Mightier (8/25/2007)

Cow-Powered Fuel Cells Grow Smaller, MightierCows could one day help to meet the rise in demand for alternative energy sources, say Ohio State University researchers that used microbe-rich fluid from a cow to generate electricity in a small fuel cell. ...> Full Article



Researchers Develop Programmable Mini-Bacteria (8/8/2007)

Researchers Develop Programmable Mini-BacteriaResearchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research in Braunschweig have now launched a project to reduce the bacterial genome of Pseudomonas putida to its essentials and, at the same time, insert additional genetic circuits. ...> Full Article


Two Bacteria Better Than One In Cellulose-Fed Fuel Cell (7/31/2007)

No currently known bacteria that allow termites and cows to digest cellulose, can power a microbial fuel cell and those bacteria that can produce electrical current cannot eat cellulose. But careful pairing of bacteria can create a fuel cell that consumes cellulose and produces electricity, according to a team of Penn State researchers. ...> Full Article


Engineered E. Coli May Lead To New Drugs, Detect Pollutants (7/23/2007)

Bacteria that respond to human hormones -- the body's chemical messengers -- may enable the discovery of new treatments for hormone-related medical problems, including thyroid disease and some forms of breast cancer. Developed by Princeton chemical engineers, the sensitive bugs also may detect hormone-mimicking pollutants, which can disrupt normal processes in the body. ...> Full Article


Using Bacteria To Suck Up Dangerous Toxins (7/11/2007)

Using Bacteria To Suck Up Dangerous ToxinsThe U.S. Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute has accepted a proposal by an Indiana University Bloomington biologist to sequence the genomes of six bacteria known to suck up nutrients from their environments using long, rigid stalks. ...> Full Article
