The New Face Of Recycling ...Bacteria

Carbon is the most needed element in our world today due to climate change. Scientists at Harvard medical discovered that there is a one-celled organism in the ocean that is able to burn carbon. As one of the most efficient movers of bacteria cyanobacteria is able to fix and digest bacteria. They are able to do so by building little factories inside themselves that i s able to turn bacteria into fuel. Many people have not heard of this bacteria but it is a rod-shaped bacteria that is alone responsible for reusing and recycling forty percent of the carbon in the carbon cycle. They build ball shaped structures called carboxysomes inside of them like factories. These help absorb and convert carbon dioxide into sugar that are used as energy.
The knowledge of bacteria and its functions can help global warming. The cells inside this bacteria functioning through photosynthesis and reusing their carbon. A better understanding of how these single celled organisms are structured and the factories inside of them can help us copy their system. We can have a better cycle of carbon moving from the atmosphere into to plants, oceans, soils the earth's crust and back into the atmosphere again.
Global warming is a crisis that affects us all. If the earth's temperature rises than scientists predict that the natural devastation we have been experience will get worse. We need to be able to reduce the earth's temperature soon so that this generation may not experience more deaths and refuges. Carbon can help us do that if we learn how to reduce it in our daily lives and recycling it life the creatures deep under the sea are doing.
