Bacteria in the human gut can beat the current

Bacteria in the human gut, capable of provoking diarrhea, produce electricity. If this process is to take control, mankind will learn to treat infection.

Scientists have found that living in the human gut bacteriathat could cause diarrhea, produce electricity. So, monocytogenes Listeria, which some women have miscarriages occur, produce a voltage when remove waste products from their cells. Hundreds of other bacteriathat could cause gangrene and hospital acquired infections and the microorganisms involved in the fermentation of yogurt, too, can “beat the current”. Researchers believe that these bacteria are “living batteries”, which is why some plants can generate electricity from microorganisms.

But what does all this have to do with health? Researchers from the University of California at Berkeley, who estimated the voltage of some bacteria, it is believed that this information can tell us a lot about how bacteria infect people. And it will give the key to the development of methods for the recovery of the entire gastrointestinal tract and promote health in General. Certain bacteria generate electricity to remove electrons in the form of waste. Electricity also helps them produce more power. These electrons bacteria secrete outside the cell that creates a voltage necessary for carrying particles.

Some bacteria generate electricity only as needed, for example when the oxygen level is reduced. If this process could be manipulated, it was used for fermenting foods like yogurt and the production of probiotics, scientists believe. Naturally, the control over this process and help in treatment of many deadly diseases, and General health promotion. (READ MORE)
