00:00Why are there not more people talking about bacteria that breathe electricity?

00:04Seriously, these little guys could change the world.

00:07And they're vibing in places you'd never expect.

00:10Picture this.

00:11Deep-sea vents, sewer pipes, even your gut.

00:14Scientists have found bacteria that don't need oxygen.

00:17Instead, they push out electrons like tiny electric air conditioners, creating real electricity.

00:24How do they pull off this shocking stunt?

00:26First, they use molecules called naphthoquinones.

00:30Think of them as mini-delivery trucks hauling electric charges out of the cell.

00:34Then, enzymes like NFSA and NFSB step in, helping shuttle those electrons right out in a process called extracellular respiration.

00:44It's basically how a battery works, but with microbes.

00:47And get this.

00:48When scientists gave these bacteria a metal playground, they evolved superpowers, mutating to zap out even more electricity.

00:55Why does it matter?

00:56These microbe marvels could transform waste into clean energy, power sensors in wild places, even help treat our water.

01:05So next time you flip a switch, remember, electricity might just be the future of bacteria.
