Strains specialized to live in high-CO2 oceanic environments have evolved traits that are useful for decarbonization and bioproduction.
Researchers from the United States and Italy have discovered a novel strain of cyanobacteria , or algae, isolated from volcanic ocean vents that is especially adept at growing rapidly in the presence of CO2.
Chonkus rapidly settled into a dense pellet resembling “green peanut butter” at the bottom of its sample tubes, while other strains remained suspended.
This behavior is especially valuable for industrial processing, as concentrating and drying biomass currently accounts for 15-30% of production costs.
The team is excited about the many applications that could be addressed with modified versions of the microbe.
