    It should be possible to use bacteria to purify the environment of greenhouse gases while generating electricity


    The bacteria, called Candida methanotrophs, grow on methane and are found naturally in freshwater such as ditches and lakes


    The researchers initially wanted to learn more about the transformation processes that take place in microbes
