🦠 A newly discovered microbe might be able to help curb the climate crisis. 🌳 UTEX-3222, nicknamed “Chonkus,” is a novel strain of cyanobacteria that is especially adept at “eating” carbon dioxide and sinking in water. Just 13 liters of Chonkus could capture as much carbon dioxide annually as a single tree! 🤿 Chonkus, first discovered off the coast of Italy, is a prime candidate for biologically-based carbon sequestration projects and bioproduction of valuable commodities.
