Electricity derived directly from bacteria. Like other cells, bacteria use electrons taken in from food to generate energy, but must ensure that these electrons are subsequently removed. The molecular structure of proteins that allow bacteria to release the electrical charge can be used to turn microbes as a viable source of electricity.
