A study outlining the results will be published later this year.

carbon in the process and the new strain is one of the fastest growing cyanobacteria ever reported says Tierney. He describes cyanobacteria as natures little alchemists as they Mobile App Development Serviceabsorb large amounts of CO and can convert it into useful resources such as fuels or biodegradable plastics. Early data showed this new strain generated  more biomass than the other fastest growing strains out there says Tierney.



As it grows denser and heavier the microbe sinks in it sequester the CO it absorbs he says. The carbon capture potential of cyanobacteria is already widely studied. What makes this discovery truly remarkable is the fact that the cyanobacteria strain can absorb CO at such a rapid rate says Helen Onyeaka an industrial microbiologist and associate professor at the University of Birmingham in the UK.
