However, drilling sites, where the natural gas is mostly composed of methane, also contains hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which inhibits the growth of methanotrophs. In a new study, researchers have discovered that the methanotroph Methylococcus capsulatus Bath has an enzyme that helps it grow in the presence of small amounts of H2S.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-01-methanotrophs-toxic-effects-hydrogen-sulfide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">How do methanotrophs handle the toxic effects of hydrogen sulfide?<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Methanotrophs\u2014organisms that grow by consuming methane\u2014seem to be perfect for alleviating global warming, since methane accounts for about 30% of this effect.
