加利福尼亚州戴维斯大学的科学家正在开发一种药丸,以改变牛肠细菌,减少甲烷排放。 Scientists at the University of California, Davis, are developing a pill to alter cow gut bacteria, reducing methane emissions. 养牛业是甲烷的主要成因,甲烷是一种强大的温室气体。 Cattle farming majorly contributes to methane, a potent greenhouse gas. 该项目的预算为7 000万美元,旨在引进转基因微生物,吸收氢气,使产生甲烷的细菌挨饿。 The project, with a $70 million budget, aims to introduce genetically modified microbes that soak up hydrogen, starving methane-producing bacteria. 目标是对年轻的牛进行单一剂量的治疗,因为他们通常无法每天得到补充剂。 The goal is a single-dose treatment for young cattle, as they typically cannot receive daily supplements.
