As the world increasingly considers hydrogen as a potential biofuel,
technology could benefit from having the genomes of such microbes. “C. hydrogenoformans is one of the fastest-growing microbes
that can convert water and carbon monoxide to hydrogen,” remarks TIGR evolutionary
biologist Jonathan Eisen, senior author of the PLoS Genetics study. “So if
you're interested in making clean fuels, this microbe makes an excellent
starting point.”

This is really cool news, and just goes to show that for any problems we
create, we're clever enough to find a solution.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
