Solutions sought for carbon sequestration, hydrogen production

This article was a bit hard for non-microcellular people like me to understand.  Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis recently are investigating the gene sequence of two cyanobacteria to see environmental factors lead to changes in their oxygen production.  They have found protein sequences for usage of iron, nitrate and bicarbonate.  This discovery will help understand how cyanobacteria’ s role in “harvesting solar energy, planetary carbon sequestration, metal acquisition and hydrogen production in marine and freshwater ecosystems” will change the global environment.
