    Microbes can convert oil into natural gas, which is methane


    Underground oil reserves on land and sea are home to microorganisms, which use oil as a source of energy and food to convert it into methane


    This "magic microorganism" decomposes oil into methane and carbon dioxide


    Genes that break down hydrocarbons

    Now that the researchers have successfully cultivated these microorganisms in the laboratory, they can study the underlying process in detail


    In their laboratory cultivation, the researchers provided a variety of food for these microorganisms and used various methods to pay close attention to how the methane bacteria deal with it


    The Methanoliparia cultivated in this study comes from one of the largest oil fields in China: Shengli Oilfield
