On the Study of Microbial Breathing Without Carbon Source
The Study of Microbial Breathing in the World, I often think about a difficult question: Can microorganisms breathe in the environment without carbon sources? This question involves the metabolic mechanism of microorganisms, and its significance is very shallow.

Looking at common sense, carbon comes from microorganisms. If you eat it for people, it is the foundation of energy and matter. Normally, microorganisms use carbon sources for respiratory metabolism, taking energy to live, and creating substances to form. However, things are impermanent, and you know that microorganisms have no other way?

Those who have tried to study it, try to explore it. In a special environment, eliminate the supply of carbon sources, and observe the changes of microorganisms. At first, everyone suspected that microorganisms could not continue, and they would gradually lose their vitality. However, there are unexpected gains. Some microorganisms can actually maintain their vitality. Although the state is different from usual, the sign of respiration still exists.

Investigate it carefully, or because microorganisms have strange abilities. In the long evolutionary road, prepare a method of multiple metabolism. When there is no carbon source, it opens up a different pathway. Or borrow a small amount of things from the environment, or store them in the body. Although it is difficult, it preserves the continuity of respiration. The mechanism is like hiding in the fog, waiting for future generations to see the light of day.

This inquiry is also like opening a new door, leading our generation into the mysterious metabolism of microorganisms. Or opening a new path for future biotechnology and ecological research. We should continue to study it, solve this mystery, and contribute to the interest of science.
