How Deep Sea Bacteria Could Help Solve Climate Change
2015-10-24 02:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inquisitr: Scientists may have a new weapon against CO2 buildup and the struggle against climate change -- deep sea bacteria. One rare bacterium can change industrial CO2 into chalk with the help of human scientists. It may not be a silver bullet, but perhaps it could be one more tool to keep future temperatures down. It`s called Thiomicrospira crunogena, or T-Cru for short, and it produces an enzyme called carbonic anhydrase. That substance reacts with water to convert CO2 into bicarbonate -- which can...
Could deep-sea bacteria be the latest weapon against climate change?

Christian Science Monitor: Researchers from the University of Florida have discovered certain bacteria on the ocean floor could neutralize massive quantities of industrial carbon dioxide. Because carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas emitted by human activity, is a key culprit in climate change, scientists from a variety of disciplines have been searching for ways to effectively capture and neutralize the gas. The UF researchers discovered that an enzyme produced by the bacteria Thiomicrospira crunogena, can convert...

Deep-sea bacteria could help neutralize greenhouse gas

ScienceDaily: A type of bacteria plucked from the bottom of the ocean could be put to work neutralizing large amounts of industrial carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, a group of University of Florida researchers has found. Carbon dioxide, a major contributor to the buildup of atmospheric greenhouse gases, can be captured and neutralized in a process known as sequestration. Most atmospheric carbon dioxide is produced from fossil fuel combustion, a waste known as flue gas. But converting the carbon dioxide...

Natural Bacteria Helps Frogs Fight Deadly Skin Disease, Say Researchers

Nature World News: When we get the sniffles our first instinct is to go to the pharmacy, find the right medicine and wash it down with hot soup and tea. Well, animals also have to protect themselves from infectious disease--and it seems that frogs don't have to look much farther than the skin on their own backs, according to researchers from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). One of those potential threats is chytridiomycosis--a fungal disease that has rapidly spread across the...

Hanovia UV eliminates bacteria from water in soft drinks manufacturing process
2015-10-08 19:28:18| Beverages - Topix.net
Hanovia UV has partnered with F&N Beverages Manufacturing in Malaysia to install a disinfection system at its manufacturing plant in Inanam, Kota Kinabalu. The Hanovia UV system is installed after an activated carbon dechlorination unit and is used to eliminate bacteria from water used in the soft drinks manufacturing process.
