Sentences with phrase «anaerobic microbes in»

An international team of researchers has shown how anaerobic microbes in oil deposits around the world — including in unconventional sources such as the oil sands — naturally break down crude oil into methane in the reservoir.

However, anaerobic microbes in many habitats died out in massive numbers, including the climate - warming methanogens, during the «Great Oxygenation Event» (or «Great Oxidation Event») between Years 2.2 and 2.3 billion.

Not exact matches

remember tho, even if disposables went biodegradable, they would still need the presence of oxygen and aerobic and anaerobic microbes to break down, something in short supply in landfills.

Instead of mitochondria (the cellular engines that convert oxygen to energy, present in all other known animal cells), these creatures contain structures resembling hydrogenosomes, the organelles that anaerobic microbes use to generate energy.

Anaerobic microsites in soil are microscopic habitats lacking oxygen in which microbes are limited in their ability to metabolize soil organic matter into climate - active CO2 that is released to the atmosphere.

Traditionally, suppressing oxygen while feeding biodegradable waste to microbes results in the production of methane - rich gas through anaerobic digestion.

On the other hand, many anaerobic microbes including methanogens are easily poisoned by oxygen, and the recent discovery of banded sediments with rusted iron on Akilia Island in West Greenland suggests that oxygen - producing, photosynthetic microbes (e.g., cyanobacteria) living on the surface of wet areas to gather sunlight may have developed by the end of this geologic period (3.85 billion years ago) despite continuing bombardment from space.

In warming areas that grow boggier every year, this might mean ensuring that there is enough oxygen - rich moving water, which would make the area less hospitable to anaerobic microbes that belch large quantities of methane.

Diminishment of cometary and meteoric bombardment allowed anaerobic microbes to spread widely in wet habitats.

Adapted to their very hot but watery environment, these microbes metabolized hydrogen - rich compounds or dead or live organic materials to derive the energy that sustains anaerobic life, including sulfate - reducing bacteria that produce Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), fermentative bacteria that produce carbon dioxide and alcohol -LRB-- OH), and methanogenic bacteria — the methanogens found in sewage and mudflats today — that produce methane (CH4) gas as a waste product.

Prior experience in manipulation of anaerobic microbes, mouse infection models, analytical chemistry or bioinformatics are desirable (but not required).

Many of the bacterial species in the young children with CF, he noted, were «anaerobic» microbes that thrive in conditions of very low oxygen.

is a collaborative research project in collaboration with Marissa Benedict that explored, among other things, Joseph Beuys, the material movement of Chicago and its history, the lifestyle of urban coyotes, diving for anaerobic microbes and much more

It turns out that the overlying fresh water aquifer in the glacial till (deposited during the last glacial max) helps maintain an enormous biogenic nursery within the underlying Antrim (the anaerobic microbes need fresh water).

CO2 + 4 H2 → CH4 + 2 H2O CH3COOH → CH4 + CO2 This kind of anaerobic degradation of organic carbon in melting permafrost generates methane, However, it's hard to assign energetics in detail to these processes since there are other microbes involved... «Energetics of syntrophic cooperation in methanogenic degradation.
