Feng, L. et al. Genome and proteome of long-chain alkane degrading Geobacillus thermodenitrificans NG80-2 isolated from a deep-subsurface oil reservoir. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 104, 5602–5607 ...

Methanoliparia, on the other hand, prefers heavy oil with its long-chain compounds,” said Rafael Laso-Pérez, PhD, who is currently a postdoctoral researcher at National Center for Biotechnology ...

Daniel Glavin, a senior scientist with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, added further, “The discovery of long chain hydrocarbons that were preserved (and not completely destroyed by ...

Captured CO2 can be turned into carbon-neutral fuels, but technological advances are needed. In new research, a new catalyst increased the production of long-chain hydrocarbons in chemical ...

The medium-chain hydrocarbons they produce can be broken down into shorter chains and ... Chang noted that the long-term and more sustainable goal would be to completely redesign processes for ...

Thus, this organism could be a key agent in the transformation of long-chain hydrocarbons to methane," says Laso-Pérez. Thus, the scientists next want to dig deeper into the secret life of this ...

A new catalyst, invented by Cargnello and colleagues, moves toward this goal by increasing the production of long-chain hydrocarbons in chemical reactions. It produced 1,000 times more butane – the ...

New research shows just how adept ants are at sniffing the hydrocarbons of ... “What we found is that ants have quite an unusual capability to smell and sense these long-chain hydrocarbon ...

“SAM is a mini chemical laboratory on Mars, which can heat up a sample up to 850 °C, separate the molecules released from it, and identify them one by one,” Freissinet said in an email. “The analysis ...

In tests, only five percent of the converted CO 2 ended up as carbon monoxide and 10 percent ended up as methane, while nearly half turned into long-chain hydrocarbons in the jet fuel range (8-16 ...

Best of all, the resulting synthetic fuel is free from sulfur and aromatic hydrocarbons, which means it won't smell or cover your car with soot. Audi says that this form of diesel is also readily ...
