Bio-Electromagnetism

Division:	Biotechnology
Category:	Intermediate
Region:	CDLS - Province du Québec
City:	Brossard, QC
School:	Centennial Regional High School
Abstract:	Electricity is produced in a dynamo based on the principles of electro-magnetism. If magnetic bacteria, which produce and use magnetite crystals as navigational tools, were made to spin using anti-flagellin antibody, they should produce a magnetic field. This project illustrates magnetic bacteria's ability to produce electricity in a generator.
