Methanobacterium - Gas source in the bottom of the water

In marshes or ponds with lots of grass growing, the microorganisms that live there love to blow bubbles, which are methane bacteria.

Methane is the oldest organism on Earth. In the early days of the Earth's formation, in the pristine environment and lack of oxygen as in the dead, the first creatures were born, they did not need oxygen, live on them.

Carbonates and some simple salts. However, they have the full standard of life - cells, proliferate in nature. Methane is the creature of the creature.

Until now, so many things have changed, the nature of methane has not changed very much, they are still anaerobic, only their food today is richer, all kinds of rubbish, fauna and flora , animal dung are all their delicacies. Under the bottom of deep mud, lack of oxygen, they eat well, start "playing" blowing bubbles.

In the "play" bubble of methane bacteria filled with biogas (biogas), the key component of biogas is methane (CH ₄ ). In addition, there are H ₂ , CO, CO ₂ , . This is a cheap energy source for lighting, cooking, clean and convenient, and can also be used as a substitute for gasoline: a natural gas thought.

Currently, the world is worried about lack of fuel, exploiting new energy sources is a trend of the era. Microorganisms have contributed to supporting people's worries, solving part of the energy crisis. Many countries have used biogas to run their machines. Rural China has many places to make biogas tanks. Each cubic meter of water can give about 6000Kcal heat, run 1 engine with 1 horsepower for 24 hours, light 1 lamp equivalent to 60-100W electric ball for 5-6 hours. It is also expected to build a biogas power plant, turning bioenergy into electrical energy. A 2,000-ton-a-year winery, if used as a whole, would produce 11 million cubic meters of biogas, equivalent to 9000 tons of coal. The residue of methane bacteria is used to make fertilizer better than good fertilizer still fertilizing the field.
