Do you mean "energy" instead of electricity?

I think he means a bio-electric-cell. Literally electricity. I read an article about using sugar as a fuel and having the bacteria? inside power a flashlight.

You could produce electricity with bacteria in two main ways:

- Directly in Bio electric cells, not yet really easy to use, but why not in the future.

- indirectly by using bacteria to transform some stuff in a more in chemicals that can be directly used to make electricity. Such as biological waste transformed into CH4 that can be burnt, or the transformation of sugar into (m)ethanol to use in different engines (cars, electricity plant, Hydrogen cells..)
