Scientists Discover Enzyme That Turns Air Into Electricity – Slashdot

Australian scientists have discovered an enzyme that converts air into energy. The finding, published in the journal Nature …..

the researchers extracted the enzyme responsible for using atmospheric hydrogen from a bacterium called Mycobacterium smegmatis. They showed that this enzyme, called Huc, turns hydrogen gas into an electrical current. Dr. Grinter notes, “Huc is extraordinarily efficient. Unlike all other known enzymes and chemical catalysts, it even consumes hydrogen below atmospheric levels — as little as 0.00005% of the air we breathe.”
