Scientists characterize novel enzymes from deep-sea microbes with a key function in the ethane degradation process, revealing surprises in the metabolism of these organisms. Seeps on the deep ...
The anaerobic oxidation of ethane was described a few years ago, and many of its secrets still have to be unraveled. "When drawing the chemical reactions of the pathway on paper, we found large ...
"We have pipelines leading down to Texas and Louisiana. We have the gas in Pennsylvania is being sent up to the Shell Ethane Cracker plant in Beaver County. So, the gas that is drilled here is pretty ...
Deep-sea microbes consume alkanes, reducing oceanic and atmospheric pollution, and a new study reveals they utilize a unique metabolic pathway. This discovery challenges previous beliefs about ...
