Australian scientists from La TOB University (Australia) found that mycosynbacter Amalyticus bacteria, called “microbial dark matter”, could destroy other bacteria that cause foam formation in waste water. The study was published scientifically magazine Nature Communication (Natcoms).
Foaming in waste water is associated with Gordonia Amarae bacteria, which contain my mycolic acid, make them hydrophobic and contribute to the stabilization of the foam. This disrupts the cleaning process and requires significant costs for chemicals.
In a new study, scientists found that Mycosynbacter Amalyticus was connected to Gordonia Amarae Mycolic acid and destroyed it. In response, Gordonia Amarae was mutated, losing mycolic acid and completely eliminated the ability to foam.
The next step will cooperate with wastewater treatment enterprises to test using Mycosynbacter Amalyticus. Scientists hope that this will lead to significant progress in the sector and reduce dependence on harmful chemicals.
Previously, scientists learnedThese bacteria can protect themselves from threats with the help of nan -sized harpoon.
