In 2017, the National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $6 million grant to Sani and his team to study the range of extremophiles that consume methane. The project is named Building Genome-to-Phenome Infrastructure for Regulating Methane in Deep and Extreme Environments (BuG ReMeDEE). This research (pronounced “bug remedy”) is helping scientists better understand the methane cycle in the hot water fissures under Yellowstone National Park and deep inside Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). The methane cycle is the generation and consumption of methane by various microbes.
“This BuG ReMeDEE consortium will garner the world’s attention on the significance of analyzing the methane regulation in deep subsurface and extreme environments,” says Sani the principal investigator of BuG ReMeDEE. Start the dialogue with BugRemedee today!
