Sentences with phrase «with cyanobacterial»

But the work with cyanobacterial oil that Joule Unlimited and others are doing suggests that «green» oil might become competitive with natural gas within a decade or so.

Chloroplasts have their own genome, which is considerably reduced compared to that of free - living cyanobacteria, but the parts that are still present show clear similarities with the cyanobacterial genome.

To check out the bacteria's rock - building ability, Kurtz and Netoff inoculated samples of sterilized sand with the cyanobacterial cultures.

Not exact matches

Along with invasive cyanobacterial fungus and algae, poisonous runoff, rising ocean levels, acidic waters and overfishing are taking their toll on the reefs and the marine life they support

Steven Wilhelm, Kenneth and Blaire Mossman Professor of Microbiology, along with UT graduate students Joshua Stough and Lauren Krausfeldt, worked with a team of 25 researchers to examine the physiological traits of Microcystis, the cyanobacterial organism responsible for scum - like algal blooms in Lake Erie.

«With a warming climate, rising carbon dioxide levels, dams on more rivers than not, and overloading of nutrients into our waterways, the magnitude and duration of toxic cyanobacterial blooms is only going to get worse.»

We have replaced the tobacco RbcL gene with transgenic loci containing two or three cyanobacterial genes encoding the S. elongatus Rubisco large subunit (Se LS), small subunit (Se SS) either alone or with the putative chaperone RbcX or a gene encoding the carboxysomal protein M35.

Dr. Anton Post is a microbiologist who specializes in the molecular ecology of marine microorganisms with a focus on abundant cyanobacterial species.

But consider this: if the cost of PV / electrolytic or cyanobacterial fuel (using environmental CO2) becomes competitive with current natural gas, an investment in such a plant is completely hedged, in terms of being «green».

But pollution also covers hundreds of chemicals which are fine or even beneficial at low levels but which if released in large quantities or in problematic circumstances cause «harm» — like phosphorus (grows your veges but also leads to toxic cyanobacterial blooms which kill cattle), nitrogen (grows crops kills many native species of plants and promotes weed growth costing farmers), copper (used as an oxygen carrier by gastropods but in high concentrations kills the life in sediments which feed fish), hormones like oestrogen (essential for regulating bodies but in high concentrations confuse reproductive cycles especially with marine life) or maybe molasses from a sugar mill (good for rum but when dumped into east coast estuaries used to cause oxygen sag in estuaries leading to massive fish kills).

This will allow immediate leverage of the low cost of natural gas, along with easy conversion to light oils (free of «corrosive components») generated by cyanobacterial processes (such as Joule Unlimited's), or methane from conversion of solar / electrolytic hydrogen and atmospheric CO2 when either / both of those processes become cost - competitive.
