Molekulare Zündkerzen machen Erdöl genießbar

Helmholtz-Forscher klären Molekülstruktur auf, die Bakterien den Erdölabbau ermöglicht

(PresseBox) (Braunschweig, )
Zum Glück fressen manche Bakterien Erdöl. Ohne ihre Verdauungsarbeit würden die Folgen von Tanker-Unglücken niemals verschwinden: Unsere Meere wären von Ölteppichen bedeckt. Die Struktur einiger Eiweißverbindungen, die es den Bakterien ermöglichen, die Kohlenstoffketten des Erdöls zu knacken, haben jetzt Forscher des Helmholtz-Zentrums für Infektionsforschung in Braunschweig aufgeklärt.
Ihre Ergebnisse - die atomaren Details dieser Strukturen - veröffentlicht die Arbeitsgruppe um den Strukturbiologen Dr. Wolf-Dieter Schubert heute in der amerikanischen Fachzeitschrift PNAS.

Erdöl ist äußerst widerstandsfähig. Und obwohl es - zu Diesel oder Benzin verarbeitet - der Energieträger Nr.1 der Welt ist, ist zunächst Energie erforderlich, um seine chemisch trägen, sehr langen Dqsiqcxhkumboiidr fxmdoqvij jsykumicf sp awzfai.
