India's first INDIGENOUS METHANE EATING BACTERIA 🦠
Methylo. oryzae has an oval and elongated shape, earning the nickname "methane-eating cucumbers."
It is mesophilic, unable to grow above 37ºC.
It thrives in environments where both methane and oxygen are present, such as wetlands, rice fields, ponds, and other water bodies.
Methylo. oryzae promotes the growth of rice plants by inducing early flowering and increasing grain yield, as demonstrated with the high-yielding Indrayani rice variety.
found in rice fields and wetlands in Western India.
Methanotrophs, or methane-oxidizing bacteria, play a crucial role in reducing methane levels, a potent greenhouse gas with 26 times more global warming potential than carbon dioxide.
it is phylogenetically unique, with no strains reported or cultured from any other part of the world.
Methylo. oryzae has an oval and elongated shape, earning the nickname "methane-eating cucumbers."

The recent passing of Natwar Singh, a former Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer and Minister of External Affairs under the UPA government, has again resurfaced a startling admission about the deep entrenchment of the CIA within India's state apparatus.
