symbiotic bacteria in deep-sea mussels

Marine microbiology research

Electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to power electric motors in aircraft.

Fuel cells based on biological or organic catalysts rather than traditional inorganic materials; mentioned as a potential application of the research findings.

The biochemical process of converting hydrogen gas into usable energy, performed by bacteria in deep-sea organisms.

Germany

Naturally occurring microorganisms found in deep-sea mussels and other organisms near hydrothermal vents; capable of oxidizing hydrogen gas to generate energy, functioning as biological fuel cells.
