A new cyanobacterium can be a new hope to deal with climate change

An international team of scientists has discovered a new species of cyanobacteria in the volcanic craters of the ocean, which has a high potential to deal with climate change and produce biological products.

According to the scientific news department of Techna Technology Media, this new species of bacteria named “Chonkus” has an extraordinary ability to absorb carbon dioxide and grow rapidly in environments rich in this gas. Chonkus grows much faster than other cyanobacterial species and For this reason, it can absorb more carbon dioxide. This cyanobacterium forms dense clumps that make the process of isolation and use easier.

honkus can store a significant amount of carbon in its cells, which makes it valuable for use in carbon sequestration projects. Due to the high ability of Chonkus to absorb carbon dioxide, it can be used to reduce greenhouse gases and deal with climate change. This cyanobacterium can be used to produce valuable products such as omega-3 fatty acids, astaxanthin and biomass. Chonkus also has the potential to produce sustainable biofuels.

Researchers found this new species in the ocean’s volcanic craters, which are rich in carbon dioxide. By simulating suitable environmental conditions for the growth of cyanobacteria, they succeeded in isolating and cultivating this new species. The discovery of Chonkus is an important step towards developing sustainable technologies and dealing with climate change. By using this cyanobacterium, new methods can be achieved to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and produce biological products.
