| '''Microbial fuel cells (MFC) / mud cells:'''
| |
| - fuel cell system powered by bacteria (or other microorganisms)
| |
| - convert chemical energy to electrical energy
| |
| - produce very little, precious electric current
| |
| - energy can accumulate over time (and multiple cells) and discharge at once
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Useful species of bacteria:'''
| | ===[[User:LEa/workshops/LetsMakeItLast|Let's Make It Last!]]=== |
| - ''Clostridium butyricum'': common fermenting bacteria found in cheese, soil and the human gut
| | with Yuliya Gwilym & Brigid Lefevre |
| - ''Shewanella oneidensis'': versatile bacteria
| |
| - ''Aeromonas hydrophilia'': aquatic bacteria, can metabolise many fuels
| |
| - ''Geobacter metallireducens'': breaks down toxic chemicals, therefore useful in bioremediation
| |
| - ''Geobacter sulfurreducens'': breaks down toxic chemicals, therefore useful in bioremediation

| '''Mud cells > Capacitor > Switch > Arduino'''
| |
| - mud generates electricity
| |
| - mud sends data (temperature, time frames)
| |
| | |
| '''Discussion: What can be done with the tiny amount of electricity and the data from the mud?'''
| |
| - Generate a poem that grows over time: can either be online (on a website [on demand], sent via a mailing list) or local / "off the grid" (on an e-ink display, written into the sand with a plotter, on a USB stick...)
| |
| - Extract sounds from the mud and play them with the help of the electricity
| |
| - Think about collaboration and collectivity!

| |
| output
| |
| - make it make sense semantically (e.g. "noun that verbs")
| |
| - use repetition to make it more poetic (e.g. House of Dust: "A house of ... / inhabited by ...")
| |
| - destroy part of the rhythm or structure of the poem (make it decompose / die)

| ''Fermentation'': umbrella term for chemical processes that involve microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, yeasts); conversion of carbohydrates to alcohol or organic acids </br>
| | ===[[User:LEa/workshops/biocraft|Biocraft with household organic waste]]=== |
| ''Pickling'': can be fermentation (anaerobic fermentation in salt water), or not (immersion in vinegar) </br>
| | with Catinca Tilea |
| ''Zymology'': science of fermentation
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Leuconostoc mesenteroides'': a lactic acid involved in fermentation (of vegetables) > [https://yufrukt.com/filter/personal/The-Legend-of-Luca "The Legend of Luca"] </br>
| | 2026-01-11 @ Varia |
| ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'': first used for brewing beer, then also for baking bread; refined over centuries through advancements in microbiology (ability to produce pure yeasts) </br>
| |
| ''Lactobacillus'' (genus): first discovered in milk products; also very common in vegetable fermentation
