(February 9, 2008) – Okay, this is the last one of these strange energy articles I will post today–maybe.
An article in Microbial Biotechnology, E. coli a future source of energy? reports research results of a very creative Texas A&M professor who has found a way to genetically tweak a strain of E. coli bacteria (by altering 6 of its 5000 genes) to create a mini hydrogen-producing factory powered by sugar that produce 140 times more hydrogen than the un-tweaked version.
This is how we are going to solve the energy shortage and power future growth.
