Scientists on Sunday said they were excellent understanding of the bacteria that live without oxygen and turns into ammonia, a component of urine in hydrazine, rocket fuel. The so-called ANAMMOX - for anaerobic ammonium oxidation - shoots a sensation when they were first identified in the 1990's, but revealing their secrets requires some time. In a letter published in the British scientific journal Nature, researchers from the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands reported that they found a molecular mechanism strattera price by which bugs make fuel-trick. "Prove it was a real feat," said Mike Jetten, Professor of Microbiology at the Institute of the University on the study of water resources and wetlands. "We had to expand the number of new experimental methods. Finally, we were able to identify a protein complex responsible for the production of hydrazine, nice red blend. "
Works team first awakened interest in NASA, but it disappeared when the U.S. space agency has learned that only a small amount of precious hydrazine are "nothing like enough not to get a rocket to Mars," said Jetten. "Now we accurately determine the crystal structure of the protein complex. Maybe we can improve the production process, if we have a better understanding of how the protein complex fits together. "
ANAMMOX currently used commercially in water purification, as well saving the destruction of ammonia. It also has potential use as biofuels, sewage pumps without rain for air supply, as well as methane in return. .
