Gemma Reguera, assistant professor of microbiology and molecular genetics, has developed a process that can be harnessed to produce electricity and fuel from plant biomass. Using a specific selection of metal-reducing microorganisms in the Geobacter species, Reguera was able to design a microbial fuel cell that acts as a natural battery to convert plant biomass [...]
