Unlocking the Power of Methane-Producing #Bacteria: The Future of #Renewable #Biofuels?

In the search for #sustainable and #renewableenergy sources, a BBSRC-funded team at the University of Warwick is exploring the potential of methane-producing #bacteria, called methanogens, to create #biofuels.

With the help of a BBSRC Strategic Longer and Larger (SLOLA) grant, watch as the team uses interdisciplinary research to build cooperative #microbial networks that work in harmony produce biomethane.

SLOLA's goal is to learn how manipulate these networks to produce this renewable fuel in oxygen-free environments, as oxygen can be toxic to these bacteria. Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of microbial ecology and the potential of #methanogens to provide a #cleanenergy future.

Didn't know methanogens would instantly die when exposed to oxygen Very interesting video and real science thank you

This is very interesting but is it only cows or can we do this with any excrement?

I read about bacteria that can produce methane, I was like Wow how cool, so now im here.
