#Cows’ #methane burps may be fueled by a newfound organelle in #gut #microbes
The newly dubbed #hydrogenobody is found in ciliates living in cows’ first stomach
The microbes live in cattle’s rumens, the first #stomach of cud-chewing animals where grass and other plants are fermented and broken down. The new organelle is called a hydrogenobody. It makes #hydrogen, which stimulates other microbes in the #rumen to produce the #greenhousegas methane.
