The European Community granted a financial contribution (NEST) for the implementation of the project Electrochemical control of Biofilm-forming micro-organisms : screening, identification, and design of new knowledge-based technologies.
This project began on September 1st, 2004 and will finish on August 31st, 2007.

NEST(New and Emerging Science and Technology) Electro-Active Biofilms
Sparks from bacteria can power the future
Electrochemically active biofilms, which can achieve a direct electrochemicalconnection when they form on a conductive material, may be the basis of a newpower source. Biofilms of micro-organisms form naturally on solid surfaces.Until now, they have been seen as harmful, either to human health, or to industrialproducts. But recent research suggests they have properties which can be usedto catalyse or control electrochemical reactions, and could lead to a wide rangeof new products and processes over the next decade.
