Humans continuously emits greenhouse gases, worsening global warming. For example, carbon dioxide (CO2) accumulates dramatically over the years and is chemically very stable. Yet, some microbes ca ...

Methane-breathing microbes might become organic power stations that could generate electrical energy from the conversion.

Generating power while purifying the environment of greenhouse gases should be achievable using bacteria. In a new publication, microbiologists from

Freshwater microbes can turn 31 percent of the methane they consume into energy.

As far as greenhouse gases go, methane is the quiet villain that could stealthily drag us ever deeper into the climate crisis. In our atmosphere, it is at least 25 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide.

Generating power while purifying the environment of greenhouse gases should be achievable using bacteria. In a new publication, microbiologists from Radboud University have demonstrated that it is ...

The microorganism is able to generate power while ‘purifying’ the environment. Methane is one of the primary greenhouse gases (GHG) that contributes to the greenhouse effect, leading to global warming.

Microbiologists have demonstrated that it is possible to make methane-consuming bacteria generate power in the lab.

The researchers initially wanted to know more about the conversion processes occurring in the microorganism.
