Is it possible thisto merge the genomes of photosynthesizing and electron-transporting bacteria to make an electric cell?

I had an idea of making electric current from bacteria. There'reThere are some bacteria that can make photosynthesisphotosynthesize, and some others are capable of transmitting electrons troughthrough each other. Is it possible that troughthrough genetic engineering, we could insert the genome that allows a bacteria to makeperform photosynthesis, with other capable of transmitting electricity, and therefor making a bacterial culture, big enough to make a free energy source?

Is possible this?
