Bacteria fed synthetic iron-containing molecules turn into electrical generators

The bacterial world is rife with unusual talents, among them a knack for producing electricity. In the wild, ‘electrogenic’ bacteria generate current as part of their metabolism, and now researchers have found a way to confer that ability upon non-electrogenic bacteria. This technique could have applications for sustainable electricity generation and wastewater treatment.
