In possible climate breakthrough, Israel scientists engineer bacteria to eat CO₂

Decade-long research at Weizmann Institute could pave way for low-emissions production of carbon for use in biofuels, food, and help remove excess global warming CO₂ from air

By Sue Surkes, TOI, 28 November 2019:

In a remarkable breakthrough that could pave the way toward carbon-neutral fuels, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have produced a genetically engineered bacteria that can live on carbon dioxide rather than sugar.

The extraordinary leap — reported Wednesday in Cell, and quickly picked up by prestigious publications such as Nature — could lead to the low-emissions production of carbon for use in biofuels or food that would also help to remove excess CO₂ from the atmosphere, where it is helping to drive global warming.

Plants and ocean-living cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis, taking the energy from light to transform CO₂ into a form of organic carbon that can be used to build DNA, proteins and fats.

As these photosynthesizers can be difficult to moderate genetically, the Weizmann team, under Prof. Ron Milo, took E. coli bacteria — more commonly associated with food poisoning — and spent ten years weaning them off sugar and training them to “eat” carbon dioxide instead.

Through genetic engineering, they enabled the bacteria to convert CO₂ into organic carbon, substituting the energy of the sun — a vital ingredient in the photosynthesis process — with a substance called formate, which is also attracting attention as a potential generator of clean electricity.

To get the bacteria to move from a sugar to a carbon dioxide diet, the team, which also included Roee Ben-Nissan, Yinon Bar-On and others in the institute’s Plant and Environmental Sciences Department, then almost starved the bacteria of sugar (glucose), while giving them plenty of carbon dioxide and formate, and bred several generations to test whether evolution would allow some of the bacteria to mutate and be able to survive solely on CO₂.

After a year, some of the bacteria descendants made the complete switch to CO₂, following evolutionary changes in just 11 genes.

The lab bacteria that moved over to a CO₂ diet were fed very high amounts of the gas. However, under regular atmospheric conditions, they would still need sugar, as well, to live.

“Our lab was the first to pursue the idea of changing the diet of a normal heterotroph [one that eats organic substances] to convert it to autotrophism [‘living on air’],” said Milo. “It sounded impossible at first, but it has taught us numerous lessons along the way, and in the end we showed it indeed can be done. Our findings are a significant milestone toward our goal of efficient, green scientific applications.”

Do you consider that a reasoned argument? Get real sir!

While processing CO2 is indeed a vital part of essentially all terrestrial life, it is also a greenhouse gas. Too much of it accumulating into the earth’s atmosphere will inevitably raise the planet’s temperature, particularly as human activity reduces the planet’s great forests. A significant global warming will be much to the consternation of humanity.

Your syllogism is a pathetic example of arriving at your desired conclusion through the most specious reasoning. The conditions under which humans- particularly technologically advanced societies- can endure is a very narrow range.

I am a little surprised that Pamela posted this, as she too is so dismissive of the science describing anthropogenic climate change.

Interesting that you deride a comment as lacking reason then continue with your own specious reasoning.

The “science describing anthropogenic climate change” is anything but settled, purposely devoid of scientific debate, ignoring or lacking actual data and driven, or supported, by inaccurate modelling.

Two thousand years ago and again approximately 1000 years ago were the Roman and medieval warm periods respectively, with the former several degrees warmer than at present. Science does not know the cause of many previous warm periods, when obviously human influence cannot be a contributing factor – but somehow in the current period it is anthropogenic climate change.

According to the Hadley Climate Research Unit (HadCRUT4) 2017 data shows CO2 levels increasing over an 18 year period with no corresponding increase in global temperature.

The global warming trend also began around 300 years ago, before industrialization, coal fired plants etc. 1825 was the beginning of glacier recession and sea levels rising. However, increasing CO2 levels, which many attribute to industry, began post WW2.

CO2 is plant food and the cost benefits from increased crop yield in response to doubled CO2 concentrations have been measured and are significant.

Most Scientists agree that human activity has an effect, but also place human cause at and extremely low percentage. Any amount of reform specific to human activity will have no significant effect on climate change.

Historically, the conditions under which humans can endure is a far wider range than alarmists suggest. A study of 74 million deaths from 1984-2012 shows that cold weather kills 20 times more people as heat does.

In my opinion, the majority is silent because there’s nothing to gain by having the conversation. At this point very few people are genuinely interested in honestly considering the points and talking through them with an open mind. Plus it so obvious that science has a very poor grasp of weather and climate. Just look at the proponents of the global warming religion. They’re mostly zero integrity hacks that go to great length to suppress distension. I mean Michael Mann won’t share his data? An actual scientist want’s his data out there so his theories can be tested and proven. Everyone is just preaching to their respective choirs at this point.

Here, among numerous scientific publications as well as statements for the general public, is what NASA has to say:

Multiple studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree*:
Climate-warming trends over the past century are extremely likely due
to human activities. In addition, most of the leading scientific
organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this
position.

But, of course, you and your unnamed Ph.D.’s know better. After all, dude, I these are the people who faked a moon landing, right?

Why Real Scientists Mistrust ‘Climate Science’
Published on May 10, 2017 Written by John O’Sullivan
The biggest mistake made by supporters of the ‘consensus’ for man-made climate alarm is believing that government climate science has standing in the wider scientific community. It doesn’t. Below we explain why.

First, most people do not realize that the history of climate science – as taught in schools and universities and spoken about in a quiescent press – is less science, more propaganda. The narrative sold is that climate research is a long-established, prestige discipline which is composed of elite experts espousing long-accepted scientific proofs on how our climate works. This myth is not only laughable but is readily exposed when the diligent reader performs their own research.

Second, the public has been lied to about the very basis of such science. The Big Lie is about the ‘heat trapping’ properties of that ‘deadly gas’ carbon dioxide (CO2). This benign trace gas is actually plant food; it is pumped into greenhouses to boost plant yield – hardly a poison then. But to the climate crazy gang it is the control knob in the ‘settled science’ of greenhouse gas theory.

Climate Study is an Infant Science

In 2010, checking around the world’s top centers of learning, we saw there were NO science graduates with a first degree in the field of climatology. Even in Britain, the birthplace of climate research and one of the top nations for investment in climate studies, there are very scant pickings if you want to become a student of climate science.

The University of East Anglia (UEA), the UK’s most prestigious university for Environmental Sciences – a position it has held for the last 30 years – did not open its doors to student applications for a degree in climatology until September 2010. This is the very institution long relied upon by the UN to be a key repository of the worlds’ official temperature records. Meanwhile, the only other UK academic institution to advertise courses in climate study was Bangor University which offered merely a ‘part time evening course’ in climatology that has a duration of only ’10 weeks.’

Criminal Destruction of Data by Academics

But the UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) is discredited as a bastion of reliable, solid science. It has earned infamy and scorn for betraying its role as a trusted international repository of records of global temperatures. We know its chief scientist, Professor Phil Jones admitted wrongdoing in that regard. At the height of the Climategate scandal (2009) Jones was exposed in the national press over the loss and destruction of important records that proved global cooling. It seems Jones wanted to ‘hide the decline’ in global warming so he simply got rid of swathes of inconvenient data – an unforgivable loss to all science. Amazingly, Jones kept his job. But then his employers were always happy with his cherry-picking methods. His politicized brand of alternative facts feeds a trillion dollar multi-national fraud with the ‘evidence’ it needs to tax the world into energy poverty.

Jones literally is as subjective and fanatical in his beliefs as any one those crazed climate activists who ‘march for science’ demanding governments cut ‘carbon emissions’ to save the planet. In 2009 Jones only escaped criminal prosecution because the short six-month statute of limitations had already expired before his crimes were exposed. Is that the kind of scientist ordinary taxpayers want running a key United Nations center for climate study?

I am a PhD scientist (marine science), with MS and BS degrees in geology. I first thought the “man-made global warming” theory was believable back in the early 1980s. I have followed the theory since then, and eventually realized it was discredited by DATA. And further, realized it became a tool of leftists to promote an agenda. What was particularly upsetting was that science was corrupted in the process! I went into science because I believed truth was a pretty important thing in life. To now see that truth is secondary to modern science (those in academia and their media collaborators) is really disheartening. I can only now try to point out the truth one comment at a time, but it’s hard to convince the millions who have been propagandized by the public education system and the media.

Dude, I didn’t claim it was “settled” now, did I? I’m not even sure what “settled” means in this context- there are plenty of unanswered questions that are being vigorously and critically evaluated. Your claim that it is “devoid of scientific debate” is an absurd one that merely reveals your own ignorance.

BTW, I most certainly did give a rock solid reason. There is simply no question as to whether or not CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that if you add CO2 to the atmosphere, the earth as a system will warm (other inputs remaining constant). The very unsettled question is how much. Your claim that my comment was “lacking reason” also was absurd. Just where do you find my reasoning specious?

CO2 levels increasing over an 18 year period with no corresponding increase in global temperature.

There are many other drivers besides CO2, with numerous feedback loops built into the system, Ever hear of Le Chatelier’s Principle? So a mere blink of the eye (18 years) proves absolutely nothing.

We understand the major underlying processes and we know the overall direction. Regarding the basic underlying processes, we have a good understanding- so much better than, say, 50 years ago. If the build up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere proceeds to too far, it will be a calamity for our species and the biosphere that some of us cherish.

We do not have a good handle on the speed with which global warming will unfold. Lacking certainty about the rate of change, we should take the matter with utmost seriousness and err on the side of caution. To do otherwise is irresponsible of people living today- it is very wrong for us to leave our descendants a world ravished by the effects of a significantly warmed planet when it is within our power to avoid it.

why are global warming proponents claiming 12 years to live? That’s why
hard to take any of this seriously and why people have tuned out.

I am almost certain that no responsible scientist makes this claim. There are, unfortunately, idiots on both (or all) sides of this issue.

No one in the legitimate scientific community will ever utter the false terminology of “settled science”, or “science by consensus”. These are terms, invented by the media / Envirosocialist Left. It violates the accepted scientific method, as updated by Dr. Karl Popper, the father of Critical Rationalism, to read that ” The credibility of a scientific theory is enhanced by the number of times that it is challenged” and not by assuming it as dogma and attempting to re-enforce the premise. The people, spewing these terms, “settled” and “consensus” have, absolutely no scientific background.

Last Man Standing in the “Believer Cult” I see . . . .

“We saw that Lord Oxburgh, who chaired the much-touted 2010 ‘independent’ British report [1] into the Climategate scandal found that innumerate, cherry-picking climate scientists hyped up their global warming theory with unsubstantiated “subjective” claims. He officially recommended that skilled statisticians be brought in to hold the hand of these “climate experts. “

These “experts” systematically re-wrote the laws of chemistry and physics to describe carbon dioxide (CO2) as a “heat trapping” gas that is the control knob of earth’s climate. Weird that, because scientists working in industry or the applied sciences know that CO2 is one of the BEST gases used for COOLING things. In industry it has stood the test of time as one of the top, most effective refrigerant gases for almost a century.

Indeed, there is not one single industrial or applied science application anywhere on planet earth where CO2 is used to trap heat or delay cooling.

I simply am not going to take the time to deal with your ignorant obstinance in dealing with this issue. But just as one example of your factually correct but utterly misleading claims is:

CO2 is one of the BEST gases used for COOLING things.

I suspect you are well aware that the mechanism by which CO2 can be used for “COOLING things” is very different from the mechanism by which it, and other greenhouse gases, drive global warming. And I get the impression you are smart enough to know that, but are simply dragging irrelevancies into this discussion. That makes you dishonest.

OK, just for you, one more of your possibly true, but totally irrelevant observations:

there is not one single industrial or applied science application
anywhere on planet earth where CO2 is used to trap heat or delay
cooling.

What industry finds useful is of no relevance whatsover to CO2’s function as a greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. You truly are grasping at straws and to the extent that I am correct in my assessment of you, dealing in deceit.

First look up the heat capacity of CO2 and water vapor. Then look up their concentrations. Do the math. 100:1 roughly on both values. Which means the temperature contribution of CO2 is 1/10,000th that of water vapor. On a planet covered in water. Second, long before the present insanity those of us familiar with Richard Feynman’s work know that sun, gravity, orbital mechanics, rotational axis are the top 4 determiners. All else as far as this atmosphere is nonsense. We probably need more CO2, but the current level is hardly dangerous to anyone now or in the future. So this invention is probably not a good idea.

I have no idea how you come to that conclusion. Can you provide a reference? Frankly, I doubt your claim, even though I recognize that water vapor is a significant driver of climate change.

For one thing, heat capacity is hardly the only consideration when evaluating a gas’s ability to influence temperature. Other constituents in the atmosphere (e.g. Co2, methane) may absorb solar radiation from which it could be stored in water. Your simplistic model ignores that fact. Moreover, there is a vicious feedback loop to consider: elevated CO2 raises temperature, allowing the atmosphere to contain more water. The interplay between CO2 and water in driving climate change has not been thoroughly studied.

Most people are not used to thinking of the earth as a physical system, but it is, albeit a fantastically complex one. You need to refine your argument.

Jerry Mahlman’s notorious ‘hockey stick’ graph, which the idiot Al Gore used as the basis for his agitprop film “An Inconvenient Truth’, if put into a more scientifically valid timeline show the exact opposite of what Gore and the Climate Nazis claim; increases in CO2 do NOT cause global warming. Global warming, in fact, causes increases in CO2.The evidence for this is overwhelming, climate hysteria notwithstanding. Indeed, when the Glacier Bay are was first explored it was covered with ice, and in a timeframe before there were Republicans or SUVs, the Bay opened due to global warming – at least according to the Park Service docents who came aboard our cruise ship. The Earth’s climate is ALWAYS changing and all of this hysteria is simply because The Left wants to siege control over us, turning us from citizens to subjects.

You can just head to Seward Alaska and see the receding path of the Portage Glacier over 100 years. It is now in its death throws as its area is far less than the rock formation it sits in between and they are now expelling more radiant heat which is melting it faster. I give it five more years and it will be gone unless the ice sheet above it pushes a new one down the side of the mountain and it gets colder again.

Planting trees is a good idea. Restoring forests is an even better idea. I did not say, and I don’t know what, from humanity’s perspective, the acceptable levels of CO2 in the atmosphere would be.

I do know that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that increasing concentration in the atmosphere will increase the earth’s temperature. How much is a matter of intense scientific debate (despite the stupid claim made here that there is no scientific debate on the subject).

Peer-reviewed journals are now starting to admit the carbon dioxide-driven greenhouse gas theory is junk science. Last month the Sage Journal Energy & Environment published two papers proving as much.

The first paper ‘Role of atmospheric carbon dioxide in climate change‘ exposes the fraud about carbon dioxide. Those scientists found that:

“Understanding the correct role that atmospheric carbon dioxide plays in climate change removes the need for costly and ineffective measures to either contain human emissions or reduce the atmospheric content by artificial means.”

The second paper, ‘Role of greenhouse gases in climate change‘ found that:

“Ongoing alarm concerning human emissions of carbon dioxide into earth’s atmosphere depends on such emissions “enhancing” a supposed “greenhouse effect”. Such an effect has never been observed and thus, without such an effect, there is no need for climate alarm over human emissions of carbon dioxide.”

Now you can begin to understand why climate scientists are not rated highly by other scientists. It is no wonder climate science is mocked – it relies utterly on a pseudo-scientific theory called the radiative greenhouse gas effect which is pure tautology. In rhetoric ‘tautology’ is defined as using different words to say the same thing, or a series of self-reinforcing statements that cannot be disproved because they depend on the assumption that they are already correct. We never have and never will get a detailed scientific explanation of the “greenhouse gas” effect (GHE) because for climatologists to seek one would require them to dissect it, thus exposing the truth; it hangs on nothing of any substance.

Not sure what you mean by “balanced by”, but yes, there certainly is some affect there- more CO2 will increase plant growth, other factors being equal. That does not mean it will “even out” or totally self-correct.

Of course, humanity is busy destroying the great forests of the Amazon, Indonesia …. even 95% of America’s own forests in the northwest have been cut down.

You are wrong on so many points that it’s hard to decide where to begin. Just for starters: human activity in fact INCREASES the amount of forested land, certainly in the US. America now has more forests than at the beginning of 19th century.The repeated half truth about CO2 in the atmosphere, and the resulting climate change, as being the consequence of human activity contradicts geological and historic data showing that cycles of warming and cooling have existed since the earth creation – the climate changes constantly, and there’s NO SETTLED SCIENCE (an oxymoron, that) regarding factors involved. My suggestion to the ideologically motivated proponents of anthropogenic guilt is for them to take every other breath, thus cutting down on CO2 production by at least one-third.

OK, sport, so why do commercial hot-houses purchase extra CO2 for increased yields? There is no such thing as a “greenhouse gas.” Auto exhaust (CO1, carbon monoxide) is a poison, and even CO1 isn’t a so-called greenhouse gas that heats the Earth.

But if there WERE such a thing as a greenhouse gas, we need it because the Earth has been cooling off for over ten years (check the records) and indications are we might be heading into a mini-ice age that could last for 100 years or more.

Indeed. Excess CO2 would eventually lead to a proliferation of plant species, including those used for agricultural production.

Now, the tough question: who is going to be the first to develop biogenetic products to consume excess heat from the Sun – the major contributor of either real or so-called climate change?

How about a new critter to consume and dissipate excess geothermal heat from the Earth’s interior? The kind of heat produced from undersea volcanism (hot spots, mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones)?

Consuming excess hot air from the Left is a more immediate concern than climate change. Research needed now.

No. … Just confusing sugar and CO2 tells us the whole thing is hooey.

Sugar is an energy source. CO2 is not. This is why the ‘formate’ (that’s a *CHO2 group or a related compound) was mentioned. These bacteria are using ‘formate’ – and probably other stuff – as an energy source.

Sugars and air-borne CO2 is a both sources of carbon, but the sugars are the same as CO2 as a carbon source.

What normally happens is sugars are converted to CO2 and H2O. Then the CO2 is used for carbon. This is when air-borne or water-borne carbon is unavailable.

Reading between the lines … what they’ve done is to force a bacteria strain to “evolve” to substitute dissolved CO2 sourced from air-injection or carbonate (alka seltzer) for their carbon needs rather than sugars.

That’s not all that spectacular. Plants are doing this same thing right now in my yard.

And … what happens when the bacteria are released into an environment – where conditions are normal – the bacteria will “evolve” back to normal. This happens in wastewater treatment systems all the time.

So don’t worry about that part … on the other hand … it’s obviously another team of ‘scientists’ trying to exploit the AGW snake oil scam for fun and profit.

Adaptation is not the same as evolution (the macro species-alchemy kind).

How many more inventions will be accomplished based on false assumptions of “climate change” AKA “global warming”?

Plants, such as trees, are STARVING for MORE CO₂. In order to take in sufficient CO₂ today, trees are literally sacrificing necessary moisture, making massive fires much more likely.

Look it up. I’m not making this up.

Do increased global temperatures really raise sea level? Corrective mechanisms that were designed and engineered into the earth from the beginning are being discovered. Has anybody noticed that there has been a drastic, and highly effective, increase in the number of microorganisms that eat plastics, for example?

if you’re not familiar with CO2 radiative transfer see Dr. William Happer’s lecture on CO2 radiative transfer physics on Youtube … that might get you started … if you can understand it.

We already have existing technology which eats CO2–they are called plants.

The entire research effort is predicated upon the erroneous assumption that we have too much CO2 in our atmosphere. We do not. CO2 is plant food, and beneficial to the planet. Atmospheric CO2 levels are at their lowest (400 ppm) in 500 million years, and C3 (most) plants evolved at CO2 levels from 1200 ppm to well over 3000 ppm.

Search NASA’s web site for the Greening of the Earth. Recent NASA studies show that in the past 35 years the Earth has greened over 15% due to increased levels of CO2.

The biggest lie of all by Climate Religionists is that CO2 is a pollutant, when it is, in truth, one of the essential substances giving life to this planet.
