Hydrogen-Producing Bacteria Could Provide Clean Energy

Posted by timothy on from the for-my-motorhome-of-the-future dept.

Iddo Genuth writes "Scientists at the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and North Carolina State University (NC State) have developed cooperatively a new 'green' technology which could lead to clean production of hydrogen from nitrogen-fixing bacteria."

    I hope they eat your shit. Looky there, my wish has come true

    two research teams from ARS and NC State developed a novel way to identify strains of agricultural bacteria that produce hydrogen gas. Using a selecting agent to grow only these bacteria, the teams identified a gene that inactivates the bacteria's hydrogen uptake system so that all of the hydrogen produced is released.

    "Agricultural bacteria" I'm sure would love to eat shit. Your waste will help power your house without having to dry and burn your shit. Cool.
