Scientists have been using diesel or gasoline for some time now. stubborn carbon sources They’re looking for types of bacteria that can spoil it. In accordance with this purpose oil spill After examining them all the way to the sea waters, the researchers finally found these bacteria under a petrol cap. Fuel-consuming bacteria can play an important role in the fight against environmental pollution.
These bacteria can prevent environmental pollution
Darwin BioprospectingFor these types of bacteria, the researchers preferred to look in parking lots instead of looking far away. The idea behind these bacterial studies is that chemical pollutants are released from the ocean and soil. microorganisms based on removal with the help of bioremediation It is aimed to use bacteria to reduce pollution with this system.
The cars with the least fuel consumption!
In the list we have prepared, we have brought together the cars with the least fuel consumption. Some models surprise with their fuel consumption!
This new discovery came after examining five gasoline and five diesel fueled vehicles. By Manuel Porcar, one of the researchers Peugeot 206by Juli Peretó Toyota Yaris Hybrid It turned out that the model vehicle was home to the aforementioned bacteria.
Bacteria, Yaris behind the gas tank cap found in a sample taken from dirt soaked with accumulated fuel. The researchers then grew the bacteria in the lab and used it as a carbon source. diesel fuel fed it. As the bacteria continued to decompose the nitrogen for two weeks, they continued to evolve.
porcar, Toyota Yaris HybridReminding that the bacteria that consume gasoline consumed diesel fuel during the experiment in their ability to adapt emphasized. During this process, bacteria quite healthy they were stated.
Manuel Porcar and his team with these bacteria environmental pollution believes that an important step can be taken to prevent it. Especially harmful to the environment oil spills During this time, these bacteria can play an important role as our ally.
Especially oil prices these days, when these bacteria how much fuel you consume We hear you ask. However, experts state that there is nothing to worry about for personal use. The amount of fuel that bacteria can consume is quite low compared to the consumption of automobiles. However, in large tanks bacterial degradation It is underlined that there may be a problem.
We hope this very exciting invention will help prevent environmental pollution. So what do you think about these fuel-consuming bacteria? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
