Using plants or bacteria for the fuel is inefficient. The bacteria are just for the organic compounds that make up and sustain our bodies, or any fleshy bits we'd have. Fuel would likely be hydrogen or methane gas produced by electricity or the breakdown of organic wastes respectively. An you'd just us them in internal combustion. That's why you want nuclear, lots of electricity for electrolysis, which means lots of hydrogen can be produced.
