One of the key processes in the research was comparing the genome assemblies of the fungal enzymes to those of other biomass - degrading microbes, made possible only by recent breakthroughs in genome sequencing techniques,

The DNA process disrupted by the U.N.C. team is called conjugation, which occurs when two bacteria sidle up to one another and punch holes in each of their outer membranes, allowing one microbe to shoot a single strand of DNA into the other.

But day and night, plants, microbes and animals like humans are always producing CO2 by respiration, which is the breaking down of organic material (food) to get the energy out of it, releasing CO2 in the process.
