Claim One:
1. A method for selecting microorganisms to generate environmentally-friendly energy from biological waste materials, the method comprising the steps of: compiling one or more microorganisms' profiles in a computer database system by linking each microorganism's methanogenic, hydrogenic, electrogenic, acidogenic, acetogenic, hydrolytic, another metabolic property, or another biological behavior to genetic and chemical fingerprints of metabolic and energy-generating biological pathways; grouping one or more microorganisms into pathway characteristics by using machine-learning and pattern recognition performed on a CPU and a memory unit of a computer system, wherein computer system takes the one or more microorganisms' profiles from the computer database system as inputs for machine-learning and pattern-recognition-based analysis; generating discovered characteristics and profile match scores among at least a subset of the one or more microorganisms based on the machine-learning and pattern recognition performed on the CPU and the memory unit of the computer system, wherein each discovered characteristics represents a prediction for a desired metabolic property or a desired biological behavior of at least one microorganism; and selecting one or a group of microorganisms based on the profile match scores generated from the computer system with the CPU and the memory unit, wherein a higher profile match score represents a higher usefulness of the one or the group of microorganisms with one or more desired discovered characteristics for generating the environmentally-friendly energy from the biological waste materials.
