Bacteria that Eat Electricity

Just when we thought we knew it all, scientists have discovered that there are microbes that eat electricity, which is about as strange as people snacking by shoving a finger in an electric socket. Whats more, these microbes are very common. Scientists are finding them in many different places. Theyve remained hidden so long because they dont grow well in science laboratories.
