AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The accumulation of greenhouse gases such as methane and carbon dioxide from industrial processes poses a significant challenge due to their contribution to climate change and their dilute concentrations, often leading to atmospheric release and missed economic opportunities.
Method used
Culturing or coculturing thermophilic, acidophilic, or thermoacidophilic methanotrophic bacteria and phototrophs, such as Methylacidiphilum and Galdieria strains, to convert these gases into biomass, thereby reducing their content in input gases.
Benefits of technology
This approach effectively converts methane and carbon dioxide into biomass, reducing their atmospheric release and providing a valuable resource for industrial use.

Abstract
This invention generally relates to methods and systems for producing biomass from an input gas. This invention also generally relates to methods and systems for decreasing the amount of certain gases present in an input gas, in particular methane and / or carbon dioxide. The methods and systems described herein involve culturing and / or coculturing one or more strains of methanotrophic bacteria, and one or more strains of phototroph.
