Lisa Balmith asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi Chris

I have been on the website and I am hoping you can help

My daughter is a 2nd year University student studying Microbiology and needs some help with the following:

What types of microorganisms are potentially involved in climate change?

Can microorganisms be used to fix the climate change disaster?

Thanks

Lisa

What do you think?
