And how we can make a difference. Knowledge grows through sharing. Download it now for the whole has a color and its green. One German Research team is convinced that algy can help solve some of humanities greatest problems around the globe. Biologists are hunting for micro organisms with extraordinary abilities, like limes to creating energy, which might one day generate climate neutral cement. Within the very 5 percent of globe black as far as c o 2, come some construction to the from the concrete production. Yes. Now heres a possible concrete substitute. Thats the exact opposite. It doesnt produce c o 2 to absorb it absorbs 12 for over a year. Weve accompanied researchers from kaiser slowdowns, university of applied sciences to the depths of a spanish case where life on mars is being stimulated here on earth or in space. Algae could be the key either can come up 1st, go for a 1st name and ill give you all can take in waste materials and wasteful to then extract nutrients from manns office. Weve heard a lot and they can also produce oxygen. So as i can find the c o 2 we exile create to oxygen and food. Same time on this. Okay . Probably amongst the best organisms for producing food. But i dont know the an expedition in northern spain, an hours drive from build out these researchers led by biologist, me, see a lack of toast. Are exploring a cave in hopes of discovering new species of algae and furthering their research on known once. Theyre not exactly sure what awaits them. There are almost 300 caves in this valley alone, and some 4000 in all of count abriya. One case in particular, is of special interest to the german expedition team. The what they discover here is mind blowing. Me sure. Yeah. Lack of toast. Finds organisms that bear witness to the very origins of life on earth. The, the emperor steve just found this huge patch with one of the oldest sign in the back scenario. Where aware of the big catch, incredible things ive never seen anything like and so its quite incredible. Last to what we finish clock is that right . Whats left him speechless is how these bacteria known colloquially as blue green algae can survive with so little light, the noise on one hand, we really want to discover the isolating new sign and bacteria and use them for bio technological applications. At the same time thought when we have in such a marvelous habitat, the 1st question is naturally, how would they survive it . So thats what were doing is were measuring photo synthesis with this device. But were also seeing to what extent theyve adapted to the light and how they utilize the unofficial parts for the Algae Researchers, this category in caves is a godsend. The only person might just the most in booking rock face. But for the biologist, its a window into a fascinating world, an extraordinary multi generational colony. Since you do some shopping, you can see these colorful surface here. These fluffy little gray green pads doesnt. Its visa, cyan, or bacteria. So with these yellow ones here, these pink jelly light flowed. So striking the optic, thats the particular sy entered bacteria and were off the globe back task. We will talk each one of the oldest leading. So i ended bacteria. And so its a very basic primitive, cyan and bacterium thats leaving here along side more modern spacing is a bit of a voltage differently. Theyre all living here in the colon, including the misha locker towson patrick young. Are thrilled with the wealth of Research Material they found and excited about the new questions that arise from it the best we know that they can survive without much lights 5, but we dont know exactly what the lower limit sees. What about is also the question of how exactly this works in the low line situation. Weve been counted deeper inside the cave, so i entered bacteria population. There is different than that. If we found different species, a certain process is a different to you and or either. So the allergy here is quite class august responders and i can, yes, they can photo synthesizing the dog. Weve moved even further into the cave and despite the total darkness, find species of l. G. Living here to feel comfortable, you know, a 100 down and theres only 800004 line from above. Can reach something as a volume for losses in the dog by simply structure that physiology about that photo synthesis. And so they can use most certainly the visible light spectrum. But 1st industry, we switch the exciting of this and they may also be able to draw from further along the range of light in that and the random non or in the fall. Right. And what the so got was looking, couldnt you understand that . It was spanish biologist, antonio gibson, who 1st drew his german colleagues attention to the case and sent them samples. It was the beginning of a great friendship between the spanish and german algae. Researchers assigned him saturday and campbell a, youll get tons of a new field for such. I find it very interesting in terms of the production and research of useful substances and materials that he has not just the biological aspect, which is already fascinating it and thats, but its also the Practical Application of something. So you know, that really got to him, but i think in that regard, patrick and michaels ideas are in line with us and i can other words, we think were happy to continue supporting them here. And were looking forward to working even more closely with the program as but instead of the gate, push it the instead of you many that as the spanish biologist works for a company that wants to model Mars Missions here, theyve set up a space station of sorts deep within the cave, the Algae Research conducted by the german team could also be interesting permissions into space escaping time to take on those that idea. And if you had to give them to lines perfectly with the original plan to draw on the potentially lease unexplored micro organisms like gap that all apparently capable of producing substances that have not yet been recess. And a to point out 6 rings to just a moment. So these organizations that are in 5th competition with each other. So they put to you santibanez has sort of these most in the middle, not incompetent yet. And today you are interested in it on a tv, i think like produce new tooth as a service of food for other organisms. So they could serve as food for special typically deal could all be possible, but english, i understand. He meant that the on, but he said a change of scene. We had to the laboratory, a kaisers low tones, university of applied sciences. The permits ends campus is home to the worlds the largest collection of terrestrial fiano bacteria, algae that live on the land, not in water. For study purposes, there being cultivated and liquid, none the less. Over 350 species from all over the world can be found here, gums and large piece your stuff on. For example, here, you know, if i selected for cops at the oaks extra me, im talking to the units cellular. How guys here weve isolated micro claudia for it like how to go from very hope thats a region. So when i complete the new algo, weve identified even from sol involved in the arctic, most to all can attend the to the country. What does that do . The, the kind of you have to do it has a small red. Id a quite unusual that we dont know why its the guy just died. Researchers started the collection back in the 1950s, the algae from the spanish cave, or the latest edition. And could one day help us face the Climate Crisis doesnt face it, the baby could somebody be covering and there were some of that kind of caught up in ice for example, cold. How they behave like rebuilding carl and producing a sort of troy piece, kind of tennessee as one of our new projects here is to see whether we can use this as a submitted substitution as a cement, as a can be crossed. And um yeah, 2 bucks. Thats invent things of old and who samples we collected during here. Do you think of something that tom determined researchers are traveling the world on the hunt for new species of algae . The most recently spent 4 weeks in the add a comma desert, and shell a while a whole spine. Thats a cactus here, the other trend to polio samples. Thats a special type of like in that grows on the tips of the tax id number is next. Prerequisites are extreme locations. Its very hard and theres little volta venue of the organisms can survive. The i can also withstand very high temperatures and by technological reactors, for example, on somebody they will temper to an old phone. Thats number one. Number 2, in extreme habitats like that to organise new boys, find organisms that can do something very special stuff, such as producing special active substances except for adopting specific metabolic pathways stuff. Its a big armstrong. Some algy enter into symbiosis with fund guy in order to survive in extreme places forming legans. Patrick young. The found such l. G, fungus, symbiosis, in the out of comma, the fun, this becomes a kind of sun shade for the algae does, is one to, and among other things, it also provides you the protection against the hush radiation one finds in the to comment is it is the l g e and not mo bile they trumped in a stationary position and somehow have to protect themselves from the suns rays, which they cant avoid fit for me with a like. And like this ones that task falls to the funds will con steps. They produce a sit and pigments in the case of the species, those pigments that green is yellow in appearance. Another key feature, the colonies survives on very little water. These are all properties that could come in very handy, say in the development of new products. A beacon view, how can we turn organic waste into plastic funding . Early march 2020 to the official launch of a Research Project called a waste to value the vision. At some point, l g will be grown directly on building facades and residents could benefit from the harvest. If bio plastics were able to thrive on such besides, it could also lead to growth and regional economies. All thanks to algae green fuels could also be created using the same Methods Research as being funded by the German Federal state of rhineland, polite, nate, they see it as an investment in the future on gifts. The one that in those kind of heard of that on the state level, Many Companies would benefit from becoming a little less dependent on energy supply. As a credit, thats a significant consideration these days are no, wed also be making a contribution to climate protection from here in rhineland class. And its about since i was kind of trying to hold the German Federal ministry of education and research is also funding the project. Theyve granted 8000000 euros for the 1st 3 years. Several partners are working with the team from parents sense his shots unknown to get caught up, but currently enjoying an additional spark of interest move just hoping to progress as far as possible with the companys findings, ultimately incrementing some of the only thing is weve been, were searching for yeah. So on this one, got it under forced tom. Yeah. Minds of yes. Wonderful was just right. Does the 2 researchers are unpacking a new piece of equipment. A photo bio reactor that it will allow them to grow algae that normally live on land in liquid and thereby control the way they reproduce. A lazy thing. Nothing is funny so they dont grow as well. Documents, i think growing a controlled amount of stuff. I dont know, large scale this isnt that we can then controls that grows here, and it kind of pre culture and transfer them into the loan to react because you have to one instance soon analogy thats popular with biologists will be growing in this reactor. As a buyers peer. So this for example, is the elaborate, difficult to buy a technologist working without getting the syndic assistance. Its used quite frequently and copes ideally and conditions like pass it within a few months. So thats what you see here. For example, its the terrestrial out. Can you provide those internal stuff and score the multi cellular and spread like this as a met select is feed them into, you can see immediate time. They tend to clump together when you have to prevent that with this mixing process. Yeah, were curious to see how we sound be close and then we have no experience with it yet. The, the, the, the in vix this. So im on know kind of follow that you havent tried yet. Yeah. Zoom a comp time as well to do in here. We dont even know yet. We carry stuff as much fun. Youre going to sewage spill that, you know, the, the reactor is an important intermediate step towards producing larger quantities of bio plastics or Climate Friendly summit one day exist. And so this isnt close that window. Shed upset is a big difference between trying to fools nature into the lab on thats to say, conducting experiments on a Small Laboratory scale and being able to think on a launch or industrial scale and couldnt. Thats a whole lot of botox movies and hes a student on us not 100 percent. That took the longest movies connection its modules the size of a window the researchers have already commissioned them. The idea is to grow algae on facade inside these photo, by a reactors. If it works, the process could save a lot of waste and c o 2. There are other benefits as well. Some l g produced natural dies. Some could end up on our plates a lot to me on the now we have Solar Systems on the roof can future. We could also cover the east and west salts with these al give reactors. I then even collect this would regularly come by the office, the for the whole we to all of a star sales food order can say the essence. Cuz a lot of research is still required, though space to the new Research Reactor will soon be housed in this former changing room. And well be back for a visit once the researchers have filled it with algy for now, its back to spain. Misha locker towson, his spanish colleague, have descended deep into the cave and reached the mar station. The aim here is to replicate Living Conditions on the red planet. As realistically as possible, the one day l g might be able to help space pioneers survive on mars. The minds can cut so on about 10 not to go outside stuff up. So thats, thats a sign of x here. You can say can waste materials and waste water and extract the nutrients from having a very different lights, like we have a um they then compared to you. So could you put it in as like in the volume of the c o to weeks hail to fit, creating oxygen and food at the same time by on . No, no meant to products in other, ill probably be among the best organisms for producing food in the space and can embed. Now lets see what the test ation in the spanish cave. The Company Hopes to approximate life on mars. Even if some martian conditions are impossible to reproduce, we cannot see if we need to take a look on the, on the on know tech by selling products. Okay. The young thing would be actually to be a mass, not taking advantage that we have not the mass. Why dont we come made mistakes, tyanne or im not going to stay on the bus to have him play the bid of something because i didnt read. I couldnt help us just by up and youre gonna let me buy all a g as an important area of research for this 1st bound, myers expedition and algae could play a key role. Here to the main line of investigation, we often say quarter g engineering, of course, on every seeing when it comes to of the protocol for the searching for live on so long. I didnt new teams and how come we want to be somebody that we need to research a piece in a ton of ours. You know, so everything that ive been to, and i even think nice and your team could lucy on a food unity cell. All that stuff is more thing place to put out. The German Researchers can hardly wait to find out more about the various ancient algae species theyve discovered in the case. Theyre collecting samples back at their Home Laboratory impairments ends. Theyll place them under the microscope for a closer look then uh and then the one thing that will analyze the samples and then definitely take another look at that cheat. So we want to really see its not just one species or 2 or 3 that were probably many, many different organisms living together have a little microcosm, so to speak in the hospital when thats what we want to find out about the need shuttle to do that. When were carrying out genetic analysis to determine which organisms are living together here on this form, back to parents and the new Research Reactor is full of life in the form of ality. Now its hoped they will multiply and the researchers can grow various algae and the reactor unimportant step in cultivating alternatives to environmentally harmful plastic. Because of the 4 types you up on this one of the crates advantage of this out diploma stock is that it can produce by protesting. So that means if you give, it should say, given the additional carbon sources, then fixed costs to produce, put, to recast a time. Thats the basic Building Block for a really great fire plastic. Thats called ph. Be for sure fuel plastic its most by compatible and degraded, or combustible. It is. Its used to sutures in medicine for example. See about prevented from somebody to, to, to need to, uh, buy them to, to our bodies would probably cope much better with organic plastic in our food than with conventional plastic. Under the microscope, you can see the bio plastic that the algae forms as white dots. So theres going to be more, more time on this the problem at the moment going bike level w w. S. Study here is the we ingest, around 100. 00 micro particles of mancha plastics with each meet. Oh, plastic. Thats the equivalent of 2000 pulse because we can go very well. 5 grams each week. Um, thats the equivalent to the Credit Card Division in miner could take. That means that on average that everyone in the world every week is each and a credit card with a plastic and it could be cards a cluster. Eventually the laboratories Research Reactors will be replaced with these window modules. Then every one can watch algae at work in their own window. The macintosh, this is cooling called, so to speak. You know, by some of these even much less voltage, just an aerosol sprite, 90 percent less voltage. They have better gas exchange, the easier to harvest. And so thats what this is on us model. For growing side effects here, youre in the future. In sort of 2 out of 10 opposite to dies could be grown here and these beside windows or cosmetics or even food. I didnt you know the cussing somebody out even in china . No. Yes. As a traditional new yes dish. For instance, thats the most talk flag in the form of algae thats collected from the test. But we can grow it here under these conditions and then set it where its like calm being crowded in the open liquid process on each box. And then it will take some time before the 1st products made and parents ends come on to the market. We still have a few years to wait to for the 1st organic concrete produced with spanish cave algae use of drugs. This block is now 1st prototype. Im about to, to you. We introduced to cyan and back to you area strain into the concrete thing process. Its not yet one from the cave. The yeah, this is a bar tree strain is about how we carry down south those preliminary tests with it. The test to see whether this process works with cyan, or bacteria, or a tool and in the loan to we want to work with the cyan and bacteria from the cave. Since they calcified naturally, we can then use the process for concrete productions in this way. The system can be another 2 to 4 years before we optimize the size of the door. And just too soon to tell. Yes, were on the right track. In our hot in the eiffel region, a Metal Construction company is building for large bio reactors. The window modules will be 2 meters 40 high one meter 42 across. Now the question is, which one goes at the bottom in which at the top of this one here, and that theyre l. G research here . Michelle, alaska chose the seeing the modules for the 1st time today because i do at this time amazing. We need to really think, okay, that should have been roughly key, but then you see how big it is in reality and to do minutes as i mentioned that weve never had before. And thats also really important. Those are for who is working on a bar to scale news, 100 milliliters by maybe 10 meters is the largest size, but see in our 100 leads to prove us a hold of a story that were really getting into it now on the ground. This guy, i dont think me personally going, its going in close and state of the, the state of rhineland. Collab. Nate is picking up the bill around 80000. 00 bureaus to produce 4 modules. 3 actors can be set up in a laboratory. However, the researchers can also hang them on building facades and grow l g. There is nothing can put them right on the water comes in from the top just just makes sense and then spreads through the holding. Terry, on the when it drips down its fed outlook and at the bottom, then circulates back to the top, down whole slide to see if we get them for the small metal and Steel Construction company. It was quite an order, not least because they had to procure acid resistance, stainless steel. But when i read the cool for tend isnt so bio reactive at 1st i wanted what it was. So is it something atomic . Thats what it sounds like. It 1st go in retrospect so it makes a lot of similarly, some goals. I must say, i find what they doing. They have very interesting discuss. Im a fan of the projects within for you. Im gonna find it to prevent the algae and the module from getting too much light for dying from overheating. Sun protection is built in the fact that it never disruption so high inside of the react and must get to hold as good because otherwise the out you would get to halt as well. And di, um yeah, thats why weve changed it from the sun 1st from above. And then again from the side the event will hang cold to advise the recounts, and the costs that will sprout or provide even more shade for the result. Is this, under course the 1st type of especially for the to the lp and the reactors will soon be producing file, plastic and absorbing c o. 2 from the air. Theyll be hung on an actual facade and should guard for Research Purposes me say a lack of toast is convinced elegy reactors like this. Have a great future ahead of them and will one day be part of every city escape. This is this moment tom view with photo more tight and then the west flow to full tanks where in the 1970s weve developed it. So just making a new craft quickly, we can actually get them to use those on the houses in houses. Ultimately, thats up to the politicians originally intended us to put it if they subsidize, it doesnt feel good will happen very quickly without the size of the world of cost. Well, certainly part of the mix most time from feeling for now the l. G researchers from farmers and still have a lot of exploring to do in every corner of the planet the are based on because were not spoken about eco, india celebrating women who make a difference. Why are we in charlotte, in the big, you know, financial is to come by kind of a change or environment. Initially, we are ignoring the for sure or the Underlying Forces all the spacing. And thats what i need to do. You want eco mdf together in 15 minutes on the w, the fast fashion as an environmental nightmare. A closing graveyard image of land desert. This is where things wealthy industrial nations no longer need, and the lightest textile waste gets stranded here. All about the final stuff in a Global Fashion industry. Fast fashion. Watch now on youtube. The race has long begun. Later when we look back, we recognized at all. Thats the moment when everything change. Its all about dominance. In the age of artificial intelligence, if i use the trinity in china, the us, oh europe to control the technology that will shape the future of humanity, the small, its new world, the a i race starts march 16th on dw, the, the signals together praying together getting baptized together, the evangelical churches in brazil are growing fast in places that are largely overlooked by state institutions and the catholic church. The evangelical churches look after poor and marginalized communities, but the evangelicals are also gaining more followers in the wealthier districts of the mega city, rio de janeiro, exerting political influence and looking to assert their conservative values
