Investigation on Greenhouse Gasses Metabolism by Environmental Microorganisms
The excessive emission of green house gases (GHGs) is a leading cause of global climate change, Methane (CH4) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O), although ranked second and third most abundant GHGs, are significantly more potent than Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Both gases often co-exist in wastewater, microbial growth in wastewater environment suggests the existence of a microorganism capable of metabolizing both gases simultaneously. By enriching these microorganisms in the lab and performing meta-genomic analysis using Kbase, it might be possible to develop an innovative way to reduce GHG emission from wastewater.
