Iron-oxidizing bacteria could be used to convert electricity into biofuel
What do bacteria, wind turbines and solar panels have to do with one another? Nothing ... unless you can teach the bacteria to "breathe" electricity and turn it into biofuel. That's still a very long way off, but a team of researchers at the BioTechnology Institute at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities have found a method for growing iron-oxidizing bacteria by feeding it electricity.
