    According to a new study, by transforming bacteria to generate electricity using certain special proteins in their cell membranes, but in order to break that limit, scientists achieved this extreme environment by injecting modified molecules into modified bacteria, and the study was published in the journal Chem...The scientists first created a special molecule containing metal atoms, especially iron, called DFSO plus, and then injected DFSO plus into a bacterium called Shewanella oneidensis.
    , the synthetic molecule reacts with bacteria as it passes through the cell membrane, in which it generates electricity from iron atoms.
    It is understood that even if the Shiva strain itself has the power generation capacity, but it can only survive in an oxygen-free environment, based on this, researchers with DFSO plus can allow Shiva strains to survive in the bacteria for several weeks.
