The Two Frontiers Project

New preprint: Cyanobacteria isolated from marine volcanic seeps display rapid sinking and robust, high density growth. Thanks to U Palermo and Two Frontiers Project, we got unique samples from Vulcano, Italy, where CO2 bubbles into the shallow ocean, 24-7! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Proud of the incredible work led by @schubes and carried out by the team here. This is my first senior-author manuscript, and, more importantly, the first paper of @twofrontiers. 2FP was actually born from a rejected grant in which we proposed this study. A brief 🧵

Volcanic microbe eats CO2 ‘astonishingly quickly’, say scientists - Discovery of carbon-capturing organism in hot springs could lead to efficient way of absorbing climate-heating gas @seedhealth @twofrontiers #ClimateCrisis Story by me theguardian.com/environment/20…
