A group of researchers-biologists, University of Bielefeld, Germany (Bielefeld, Germany) made a scientific breakthrough, showing that plants are able to use alternative energy sources from other plants. Perhaps this discovery will seriously affect the future of bioenergy and, ultimately, will provide evidence that people in the same way "charged" energy from other people.

The research team, headed by Professor Dr. Olaf Kruse (Olaf Kruse), first received confirmation that one of the plants - green algae species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii - not only participates in photosynthesis, but also uses alternative energy source, receiving energy from other plants. The study is published this week in the online edition of Nature Communications, which produces the well-known magazine Nature.

Flowers growing needs for water and electricity, and humans are no different. Our physical body is like a sponge absorbs that surrounds them. "That's why there are people who feel uncomfortable in certain group conditions when intertwined with energy and emotion," says psychologist and psychiatrist Dr. Olivia Bader-Lee (Olivia Bader-Lee).

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, water and light. In a series of experiments, Professor Dr. Olaf Kruse and his research team grew microscopically small green algae species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and found that these single-celled plants can compensate for the lack of energy, "contact" from plant cellulose neighbors. Alga secretes enzymes (called enzymes pulp) for "digestion" of cellulose, breaking it down into smaller simple sugar. Then sugar is transported into cells to turn into a source of energy: algae can continue its growth. "For the first time this behavior was confirmed in the plant organism," says Professor Kruse. - "The fact that algae can digest cellulose, contrary to all existing textbooks. To a certain extent, what we see is a plant-eating plants. Currently, scientists are looking for this mechanism in other types of algae. Preliminary results show that it exists.

"With the development of energy research in the coming years, we will eventually come to the projection of this behavior on the person", - said Bader. "The human body is very similar to a plant, it attracts the necessary energy to fuel emotional States that may significantly strengthen cells, increasing the concentration of cortisol and cause catabolism cells depending on the emotional triggers".

Bader-Lee believes that bioenergy as a branch of science nowadays is growing steadily, and that in the near future in the world of plants and animals will be conducted studies that show that metaphysical studying energy, have long known: people can heal each other simply by transferring energy like plants. "Man can be charged and heal through other people, animals, or any part of nature. This is why many people often have improved mood and energy recovery, when they are close to nature", - concludes the psychologist.
