A groundbreaking discovery has emerged from the Mediterranean waters off the coast of Sicily: scientists have identified a bacteria capable of consuming carbon dioxide (CO2). This could have significant implications for the fight against climate change.

Researchers from the University of Palermo, in collaboration with international partners, stumbled upon the bacteria while conducting studies on the marine ecosystem. They were looking for ways to address the ever-growing problem of CO2 emissions and their impact on global warming. What they found could potentially offer a natural, sustainable solution to reducing the carbon footprint in our oceans.
