Studying Bacteria To Capture Solar Energy

It is believed that the secret way to increase the efficiency of solar cells is inside the DNA of bacteria capable of capturing small solar energy, which is investing millions of dollars on this investigation.

Although at the moment these are only hypotheses, scientists believe that these bacteria are found in oligotrophic environments, i.e. places where the bacteria have few nutrients and are living in extreme conditions. “They’re very special environments, which are found in few places in the world. One is the high plateau, “noted the expert.

It seems a good idea to investigate the organisms that take advantage of solar energy and trying to model, as it may be helpful.
