class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using a process called extracellular electron transfer (EET), the researchers succeeded in turning bacteria into highly efficient electrical microbes, which tripled the generation of electrical current compared to conventional methods.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To this end, a complete TSE pathway was created within E. coli, a significant achievement that had not been accomplished before.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The modified E. coli can produce electricity while metabolizing various organic substrates, making it suitable for waste treatment and large-scale energy production.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, the researchers believe it has potential applications in microbial fuel cells, electrosynthesis and biosensors, thanks to its genetic flexibility and adaptability to specific environments and feedstocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists at the Ecole Polytechnique
