NEW Zealand scientists hope a newly discovered bacterium that eats methane could ultimately help counter a key global warming gas. - news.com.au

The bacterium was discovered living about 30cm below the ground in the hot, acidic environment at Hells Gate in Rotorua, a geothermal area.

Microbiologist Dr Matthew Stott, who was part of the team that made the discovery, said they had been puzzled as to why methane produced geothermally at Hells Gate did not reach the surface.
