Our Science

We are currently in the testing phase of gathering methanotrophic bacteria from a variety of sources to evaluate the methanotrophic capability of species across a range and biomes especially in regions which have recently undergone Climate Change related warming. This testing is to identify species that are native to such regions and ones that present the best possible candidates for use as hyper methanotrophic digestors. In future studies the active proteins in these digestors will be sequences and 3D profiles gathered to specifically identify the features that will provides optimal methane digestion kinetics.
