Electricity from rice plants
Electricity from rice plants. Electrodes placed in a pot of rice seedlings grown underwater. Anaerobic bacteria, such as Geobacter sp. that exist in the sediment, colonise the anode electrode and oxidise organic matter. During the oxidation process, the bacteria can directly transfer electrons from the organic matter to the anode. The electrons flow to the cathode along wires and generate electricity. Bacteria, such as Geobacter could one day be used to provide a cheap and renewable source of alternative energy. Photographed in 2007 at the University of Massachusetts, USA

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible potential of harnessing electricity from rice plants. In this image, electrodes are carefully placed in a pot filled with rice seedlings grown underwater. What makes this process truly remarkable is the involvement of anaerobic bacteria, specifically Geobacter sp. , which naturally exist in the sediment. As these bacteria colonize the anode electrode, they initiate an oxidation process that allows them to directly transfer electrons from organic matter to the anode. The flow of these electrons through wires eventually reaches the cathode and generates electricity. This groundbreaking discovery opens up new possibilities for utilizing microorganisms like Geobacter as a cheap and renewable source of alternative energy. Photographed at the University of Massachusetts in 2007, this image captures not only scientific innovation but also highlights how biology and chemistry can intersect to create sustainable solutions for our energy needs. By tapping into natural processes occurring within rice paddy ecosystems, researchers aim to develop carbon-neutral alternatives that could revolutionize our current energy landscape. While still in its early stages, this research holds immense promise for a greener future where organic batteries and fuel cells derived from crops like rice could power our world sustainably. As we delve further into bio-technology and explore microbial capabilities, it becomes increasingly clear that nature itself may hold valuable keys to unlocking clean and abundant sources of electrical power.
