A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by researchers from Rutgers University pointed out that they have discovered a kind of algae biofuel that helps to develop more efficient and economical and can fight fossil fuels. Climate change caused by combustion.
Oceans and other water bodies are rich in algae, which are energy plants that convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into chemical energy and help remove carbon from the atmosphere. Diatoms are one of the most successful algae, and their fossil fuels are the source of the highest quality oil on earth.
A research team led by Rutgers University used a 3D bio-imaging tool for the first time to reveal the structure of a protein called Photosystem II, which is used by diatoms to absorb sunlight and promote photosynthesis. They found that each cell contains two sets of this protein, but only one set is active. The active group has a structure related to pigment proteins, such as green chlorophyll, which absorbs light in the tentacles to obtain light for photosynthesis. The inactive group lacks tentacles and does not participate in photosynthesis.
A research team led by Rutgers University is trying to understand the limits of algae's ability to photosynthesize and use this ability to produce biofuels. According to data from the US Department of Energy, algae store energy in the form of natural oils and fats, and under appropriate conditions, can produce large amounts of oil that can be converted into biofuels for cars, trucks, trains, and airplanes.
The researchers point out that the next steps are to try to understand the dynamics between controlling proteins and the mechanisms that support powerful energy production, which will lay the foundation for further research to develop more cost-effective biofuels from algae and replace oil.
