(phys.org) -- The discovery of a new form of microbial life that can consume the potent greenhouse gas methane has earned University of Queensland (UQ) researchers a place in the prestigious journal Nature.
The research and the Nature article are the results of collaboration between UQ's Advanced Water Management Centre (AWMC) and the Australian Centre for Ecogenomics.
The newly discovered microbial process turns methane into carbon dioxide while breathing nitrate instead of oxygen.
