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 ...

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.
