La trascendencia de la biodiversidad sumergida

Las praderas submarinas pueden almacenar igual o más carbono que los bosques tropicales, con la retención de siete toneladas cada año por hectárea.

Plastic-eating bacteria discovered in the ocean: A large-scale global study by scientists at KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology) revealed that these marine microbes are widespread and genetically prepared to consume polyethylene terephthalate (PET) -- the tough plastic used in everyday items like drink bottles and fabrics. Their remarkable ability stems from a distinct structural feature on a plastic-degrading enzyme called PETase. This feature, known as the M5 motif, acts as a molecular signature that signals when an enzyme can truly break down PET. "The M5 motif acts like a fingerprint that tells us when a PETase is likely to be functional, able to break down PET plastic," explains Carlos Duarte, a marine ecologist and co-leader of the study. "Its discovery helps us understand how these enzymes evolved from other hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes," he says. "In the ocean, where carbon is scarce, microbes seem to have fine-tuned these enzymes to make use of this new, human-made carbon source: plastic." ...
