Graphene Oxide reduced to graphene using microorganisms

Researchers from Toyohashi University managed to reduce Graphene-Oxide (GO) to graphene using microorganisms. This is actually a hybrid approach: the chemically-derived GO flakes were reduced to graphene using microorganisms extracted from a river bank near the Tempaku Campus of Toyohashi University.

This may prove a low-cost and highly efficient method to mass produce graphene. It's also environmentally friendly...
