Newly isolated cyanobacteria strain shows promise for carbon capture
An international research team from the United States and Italy has identified a new strain of cyanobacteria, nicknamed "Chonkus," discovered off Sicily's Vulcano Island, showing remarkable potential for carbon capture. Found in CO2-rich volcanic ocean vents, this strain demonstrates rapid growth in CO2 environments and sinks in water, marking it as a strong candidate for future carbon sequestra
