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...
