Scientists from the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) have successfully engineered E. Coli Bacteria to generate electricity using a technique called extracellular electron transfer (EET). This breakthrough resulted in a three-fold increase in electrical current generation compared to traditional methods. The bioengineered E. coli demonstrated resilience and efficiency in wastewater treatment, suggesting potential for large-scale waste treatment and energy production. The researchers believe that this technology can be applied in various applications such as microbial fuel cells, electrosynthesis, and bio-sensing. The adaptability of E. coli makes it a versatile tool for sustainable technology development.
