Technique Identifies Electricity Producing Bacteria

Microbes screened with a new microfluidic process might be used in power generation or environmental cleanup.
Living in extreme conditions requires creative adaptations. For certain species of bacteria that exist in oxygen-deprived environments, this means finding a way to breathe that doesn’t involve oxygen. These hardy microbes, which can be found deep within mines, at the bottom of lakes, and even in the human gut, have evolved a unique form of breathing that involves excreting and pumping out electrons. In other words, these microbes can actually
produce electricity. https://scitechdaily.com/new-technique-identifies-electricity-producing-bacteria/

New Technique Identifies Electricity-Producing Bacteria
Microbes screened with a new microfluidic process might be used in power generation or environmental cleanup.
Living in extreme conditions requires creative adaptations. For certain species of bacteria that exist in oxygen-deprived environments, this means finding a way to breathe that doesn’t involve oxygen. These hardy microbes, which can be found deep within mines, at the bottom of lakes, and even in the human gut, have evolved a unique form of breathing that involves excreting and pumping out electrons. In other words, these microbes can actually produce electricity.
Scientists and engineers are exploring ways to harness these microbial power plants to run fuel cells and purify sewage water, among other uses. But pinning down a microbe’s electrical properties has been a challenge: The cells are much smaller than mammalian cells and extremely difficult to grow in laboratory conditions.
Now MIT engineers have developed a microfluidic technique that can quickly process small samples of bacteria and gauge a specific property that’s highly correlated with bacteria’s ability to produce electricity. They say that this property, known as polarizability, can be used to assess a bacteria’s electrochemical activity in a safer, more efficient manner compared to current techniques.
“The vision is to pick out those strongest candidates to do the desirable tasks that humans want the cells to do,” says Qianru Wang, a postdoc in MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering.
“There is recent work suggesting there might be a much broader range of bacteria that have [electricity-producing] properties,” adds Cullen Buie, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “Thus, a tool that allows you to probe those organisms could be much more important than we thought. It’s not just a small handful of microbes that can do this.”
Buie and Wang have published their results today in Science Advances. READ MORE https://scitechdaily.com/new-technique-identifies-electricity-producing-bacteria/

Mass grave with Kurdish Anfal victims found in southern Iraq
A mass grave has been discovered by local authorities in the southern Iraqi province of al-Muthanna containing the bodies of people believed to have been killed during the former Ba’athist regime’s deadly Anfal campaign against the Kurds three decades ago.

G’day Folks,
SUBJECT: Is censorship the new ‘propaganda’?
Though I have had no problems with the FB mob thus far, the Twitter gatekeepers it seems are of the view I have broken their rules of engagement. I have now been suspended for over two weeks. I have not knowingly broken the rules. As many of you would know my recent essay on Israel did not pull any punches. I can only assume it was because of this post, which I sent to all those in my Twitter network. My suspension occurred within days of me dispatching the Tweet. Despite two appeals, they have refused to reactivate my account. They also refuse to tell me why they suspended my account, and when I might expect it to be reactivated. Can any Twitter users advise me if they’ve experienced similar frustrations, and how it was resolved, if at all? Hard not to view this as blatant censorship. Is censorship the new propaganda? Is this where we’re heading?
