Fungus Discovered Capable of Producing
Gas
Washington.- US experts have
reportedly discovered a type of fungus capable of producing
natural gas. Specialists from the University of Montana
observed that in laboratory conditions under low levels of
oxygen, examples of Gliocladium roseum can produce many of
the components that make up diesel.
The fungus was found in the branches
of a Chilean tree called Eucryphia Cordifolia.
Gary Strobel, main author of the
research pointed out that these are the first organisms
found that produce some of the ingredients of diesel. He
added that the incident is a great discovery.
However, he considers that it is only an experimental step
but the path is long and with many obstacles. (RHC) |
