He won the top prize, which funded his early forays into applying his tools to cyanobacteria to investigate their potential to help fix and sequester carbon. Meanwhile, Tierney, who was then a ...

The white dots are thought to store carbon. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University Researchers have discovered a special strain of marine cyanobacteria that consume and store carbon dioxide ...

Researchers have discovered a special strain of marine cyanobacteria that consume and store carbon dioxide at a rapid rate. With a unique density that allows it to sink to the sea floor ...

In a collaboration, the researchers at the Wyss Institute at Harvard University and the University of Palermo have discovered a new strain of cyanobacteria. This strain, nicknamed “Chonkus,” is adept ...

All about the way plants turn sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into food.

If scientists can figure out how to genetically engineer it, this single-celled organism’s natural quirks could become supercharged into a low-waste carbon capture system. Cyanobacteria like ...

And the fact that cyanobacteria directly harvest carbon from their environment to grow means that they can couple the processes of carbon sequestration and biomanufacturing together in a single ...

Cyanobacteria directly harvest carbon from their environment to grow, which means that they can couple the processes of carbon sequestration and biomanufacturing together in a single organism.
