An observation from the 1970s when I was doing research on Freshkills landfill in NY (where the Twin Towers went after 9/11) looking at methane generation rates for Getty Synthetic fuels. This was one of the worst managed landfills in the country with minimal compaction and no runoff control or surface cover to speak of. The low compaction and high leachate levels (full of leachate) had the methane bubbling through a highly insulated surface. The metabolic heat from all the gas fermentation heated the mass to over 50ºC. The rate of metabolism and gas generation appeared to be limited by the heat transfer rate through the surface. This resulted in zeroth order gas generation kinetics (ie constant over time).
Very interesting video - gripping in fact - thx. Hypothesis or speculation about how the first DNA nucleus formed? From Archaea? Hypothesis or speculation about first DNA to store information - how did that happen at all?
wont global warming help big ag? longer growing seasons, more profit from reduced water rights.... i have a feeling theres a reason teachers glance over archaea when teaching bio
