I'll just continue on the bacteria..... Deep-Sea Bacteria Form Avatar-Style Electrochemical NetworksAccording to findings that could have been pulled from a deep-sea sequel to Avatar, bacteria appear to conduct electrical currents across the ocean floor, driving linked chemical reactions at relatively vast distances. ... ...................... De Beer, who researches sediments on the ocean floor, envisions taking advantage of this phenomenon to produce energy in-situ during deep sea dives. The electrical current in sediment may not be enough to fuel something as large as a submersible, he said, but it could fuel a light bulb or more importantly, deep sea monitoring equipment.
good to know...  Thanks for the posts and the links. Researchers must be very careful in looking for economic use in the conductive ability of bacteria and other organisms. Many years ago, a research project showed that diseased bacteria could transfer disease from one glass enclosed container to disease-free bacteria in another glass enclosed container. In other words, disease was transferred through some type of conductive ability without the need for a vector. Do not dig up the bottom of the ocean floor. We do not know what is there.
