Question

Energy power house of bacteria?

Answer 1

Usually, the ever stupid phrase "power house" is used with 'michtochondria' in cellular biology books.

Answer 2

bacteria could be used to break down biomass to produce methane which can be burned or used in a fuel cell.

A company called Metabolix uses

bacteria to breakdown plant matter to make bioplastics, I think they said a byproduct was feedstock for biofuel

A company named Environmental Power says this about one of their projects.

"Wild Rose Dairy in Webster Township, WI is home to an innovative renewable energy facility powered by cow manure and other organic waste. The farm is home to 900 dairy cows, and an on-site anaerobic digester creates methane-rich biogas from their waste, which is used to generate 750 kilowatts of electricity per hour—enough to power 600 local homes 24/7."
