19 April 2006 -- U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. announced April 18 that it is investigating and conducting joint research with Nanobac Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on a possible connection between nanobacteria, or calcifying nano-particles, and its proprietary process for the production of biofuels from various biomass feedstocks using U.S. Sustainable's technologies.
Nanobac has previously announced published research that demonstrated the role nanobacteria play in the production of electricity. A fuel cell was used to enrich a microbial consortium generating electricity. Nanobacteria-like particles were present on the biofilm surface.
John Stanton, Chairman of both Nanobac and U.S. Sustainable, stated that Nanobac's continuing research with NASA suggests potential energy, as well as healthcare implications of nanobacteria. U.S. Sustainable's goal is to discover, or invent, and then commercialize technologies that enhance life through sustainable energy development that "does no harm" to human health, or the environment.
Stanton also stated that research shows that calcific diseases propagate in microgravity because nanobacteria growth in that environment is accelerated. U.S. Sustainable and Nanobac are specifically investigating whether or not the vacuum created in the biofuel production process might accelerate nanobacteria growth, thus enhancing biofuel productivity.
U.S. Sustainable's technologies will include the rights to the certain patents and intellectual property rights currently contained in EarthFirst Technologies, Inc. Under EarthFirst's previously announced planned merger with Cast-Crete Corp., EarthFirst/Cast-Crete will become the co-proponent of the Plan of Reorganization of CyberCare, Inc. After the merger with Cast-Crete and CyberCare's emergence from reorganization, EarthFirst/Cast-Crete intend to combine the existing energy technologies with CyberCare's technology assets. The surviving entity will be known as U.S. Sustainable Energy Corporation.
