Figure skating experts say there has never been a pair like Gordeeva and Grinkov, but two Olympic gold medals and four World Championships didn't tell the story. They were in love; and when they skated it was obvious to all Gordeeva and Grinkov were skating for each other. But in November their love story took a tragic turn. Tonight, meet Ekaterina Gordeeva on her own, but not alone.
Methanogens are a type of microorganism that produces methane as a byproduct of metabolism in conditions of very low oxygen. They are often present in bogs, swamps, and other wetlands, where the methane they produce is known as marsh gas..
Industrially, methanol is produced from synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen derived from coke (the coal, not the soda) or methane. Methanol is used as the fuel in some racing cars, and is being investigated as an renewable alternative to the use of petroleum-based fuels. The main use of methanol, however, is in the manufacture of other chemicals, such as formaldehyde, which is used in the manufacture of plastics, paints, plywood, etc.
