美国科学家发现,在淡水池塘中常见的一种细菌可以用来连续发电。这种细菌不仅能分解有机污染物,而且还能抵抗多种恶劣环境。美国南卡罗来纳医科大学的查理·密立根在亚特兰大举行的美国微生物学会年会上发表报告说,利用微生物发电的概念并不新奇,目前已有多个研究小组在从事微生物燃料电池开发,但他们的发现有两个与众不同之处:首先是发电的细菌属于脱硫菌家族,这个家族的细菌在淡水环境中很普遍,而且已被人类用于消除含硫 American scientists have discovered that a common type of bacteria found in freshwater ponds can be used to generate electricity continuously. The bacteria can not only decompose organic pollutants, but also resist many kinds of harsh environments. Charlie Milligan of the University of Southern California Medical School published a report at the annual meeting of the American Microbiology Society in Atlanta that the concept of using micro-organisms to generate electricity is not new. There are currently many research teams working on the development of microbial fuel cells, but their There are two distinct differences: First, the bacteria that produce electricity belong to the family of desulfurization bacteria. This family of bacteria is common in freshwater environments and has been used by humans to eliminate sulfur.
