Description
Yuanyuan Chen and six co-authors isolate a common soil germ that kills toxic algae and eats its poison, in a 2024 journal article. Blooms of the alga choke lakes fed by farm runoff across the world. Its poison, a set of microcystins, harms livers in people and beasts.
The strain, a Bacillus named S4, was grown with the alga in shared tanks. As the germ count rose, more algal cells burst and spilled their poison. Yet within eighteen hours the poison in the water fell by about ninety percent at all germ counts. The germ's cells did most of the poison eating, while its shed chemicals did most of the alga killing. The shed chemicals shrug off heat, acid, and protein cutters. The pair offers a lasting green cure.
