If Teru Minamoto was a bacterium, he would be Geobacter Sulfurreducens!

FUN FACT: Like all Geobacter species, Geobacter Sulfurreducens is capable of electron transfer. Similarly, Teru exorcises supernaturals with lightning (ELECTRICITY, do you see where I’m going here?)
Additonally, Geobacter Sulfurreducens was initially isolated in Oklahoma, “from materials found around the surface of a contaminated ditch.” I think that sounds appropriately miserable for someone like Teru </3

Imagine painting your home with a special paint that also powers your lights using renewable energy drawn from the air.
Excerpt from this EcoWatch story:
Imagine painting your home with a special paint that also powers your lights using renewable energy drawn from the air.
That might sound too good to be true, but researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst think it could be one of many future uses for a new technology they have developed — a device called the Air-gen that can, as its name suggests, generate electricity from moisture in the air.
"We are literally making electricity out of thin air," Amherst electrical engineer Jun Yao explained in a university press release. "The Air-gen generates clean energy 24/7."
The device, explained in a Nature article published Monday, is a unique collaboration between engineering and biology, according to the press release. Its origins lie within a microbe called Geobacter that study coauthor Derek Lovley discovered in the mud of the Potomac River more than 30 years ago. After studying the microbe, Lovley realized that it could produce protein nanowires that conduct electricity. Lovley and Yao then joined forces to see if there were practical applications for the microbe's power.
Science Alert explained how the device is designed:
The Air-gen consists of a thin film of the protein nanowires measuring just 7 micrometres thick, positioned between two electrodes, but also exposed to the air.
Because of that exposure, the nanowire film is able to adsorb water vapour that exists in the atmosphere, enabling the device to generate a continuous electrical current conducted between the two electrodes.
Currently, 17 of these devices linked together can generate enough electricity to power a cell phone, Science Magazine explained. While it requires some humidity, it can work in places as dry as the Sahara Desert.
If Kou Minamoto was a bacterium, he would be Geobacter Metallireducens!

FUN FACT: Geobacter Metallireducens is capable of something called direct interspecies electron transfer! I’m not sure exactly how to describe my thought process here, but that sort of reminds me of his relationships with supernaturals, particularly with Mitsuba!
If Tiara Minamoto was a bacterium, she would be Geobacter Anodireducens!

FUN FACT: Compared to Geobacter Sulfurreducens and Geobacter Metallireducens, Geobacter Anodireducens can “withstand nearly twice the salt concentration”! Despite being 5 years old, Tiara’s exorcism abilities are very strong, and she’s said to actually have much more potential than Teru as an exorcist. Speaking of being 5 years old, Geobacter Anodireducens was discovered very recently! Its first isolation was in 2014. (So more like 12 years, but still pretty recent compared to Geobacter Metallireducens and Geobacter Sulfurreducens!)
