Organic compounds in household sewage and industrial wastewater are a rich potential source of energy, bioplastics and even proteins for animal feed -- but with no efficient extraction method, treatment plants discard them as contaminants. researchers have found an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective solution.
The first to show that purple phototrophic bacteria -- which can store energy from light --, when supplied with an electric current, can recover near to 100% of the carbon from any type of organic waste while generating hydrogen gas for electricity production.
