“Green Fuel” by Methane-eating bacteria

GREEN FUEL BY METHANE-EATING BACTERIA   For: Preliminary & Mains Topic covers: Process, Importance, Green Fuel, Methane.   News Flash Scientists have identified an enzyme that helps some bacteria remove methane from the environment and convert it into a usable fuel. Known for their ability to methanotrophic bacteria have long fascinated researchers. A team from the Northwestern University in the US found that the enzyme responsible for the methane-methanol conversion catalyses this reaction at a…
