Izihlahla ezikhazimulayo zingasiza ekukhanyeni kwemigwaqo yasemadolobheni

Izihlahla ezicwebezelayo ngolunye usuku zingase zisize ekukhanyiseni imigwaqo yasemadolobheni ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ugesi.

Umklami ongumDashi u-Daan Roosegaarde nethimba lakhe labasunguli bezobuciko ungenye yezinhlangano ezimbalwa ezizama ukudala impilo yezitshalo ze-bioluminescent. I-Roosegaarde yaziwa kakhulu ngokuthuthukisa izinto ezintsha zobuciko ezihloselwe inqubekelaphambili yomphakathi kanye nokusebenzisana kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe, ngokusho kwethimba lethimba. iwebhusayithi. Amaphrojekthi akhe amanje ahlanganisa I-Smart Highway ngemigqa yemigwaqo ekhazimulayo futhi I-Smog Free Park.

Manje ngokubambisana noDkt. Alexander Krichevsky we-State University of New York e-Stony Brook, ithimba le-Roosegaarde lihlose ukubhekana nomngcele omusha: impilo yezitshalo ezikhanyayo.

Ngokwe-an interview nge Roosegaarde kusuka deceen, ithimba lithemba ukudala izihlahla ezingasetshenziswa ukukhanyisa imigwaqo ngaphandle kokusebenzisa ugesi. Ukufeza lo mgomo, ithimba lizozama ukuphindaphinda imisebenzi yebhayoloji yezinhlobo ze-bioluminescent ezifana ne-jellyfish ethile, isikhunta, amagciwane kanye nezinambuzane.

U-Krichevsky useyifezile le njongo ngezinga elincane “ngokuhlanganisa i-DNA isuka kubhaktheriya yasolwandle ekhanyayo iye ku-chloroplast genome yezitshalo,” ngokusho kombiko. Deezen. Ngokwenza kanjalo, uKrichevsky wadala izitshalo zasendlini ze-Bioglow lokho khipha ukukhanya eziqwini nasemaqabungeni.

Ithimba lithemba ukuletha le phrojekthi ngezinga elikhulu ngokusebenzisa inombolo enkulu yalezi zitshalo ukudala "isihlahla" esikhipha ukukhanya. Ithimba likaRoosegaarde linethemba lokusebenzisa lolu cwaningo lwe-bioluminescence “penda” izihlahla ezikhule ngokugcwele ngopende ophefumulelwe izici ezikhazimulayo kumakhowe athile. Lo pende, obungeke ulilimaze isihlahla noma uhlanganise ukuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo, “ubungashaja” emini futhi bukhanye amahora afinyelela kwayisishiyagalombili ebusuku. URoosegaarde uthe izivivinyo zokusebenzisa lo pende zizoqala kulo nyaka.

URoosegaarde noKrichevsky akubona bodwa emikhankasweni yabo yokuphila kwezitshalo ezikhazimulayo. Iqembu labafundi abathola iziqu eNyuvesi yaseCambridge nalo izame ukwakha izihlahla ze-bioluminescent. Isihloko ku NewScientist ichaza indlela abafundi abasebenzisa ngayo izakhi zofuzo ezivela kokhanyikhanyi kanye namagciwane olwandle ukuze kuthuthukiswe izindlela zofuzo ezisiza izinto eziphilayo ukuba zikhanye. Ithimba liphinde lasebenzisa i-Escherichia coli bacterium ukwakha imibala ehlukahlukene.

Nakuba amalungu eqembu laseCambridge engazange afinyelele umgomo wawo wokudala izihlahla ezikhanyayo, "banqume ukwenza isethi yezingxenye ezizovumela abacwaningi besikhathi esizayo ukuthi basebenzise i-bioluminescence ngokuphumelelayo," kusho ilungu leqembu uTheo Sanderson. I-NewScientist. Ithimba labala ukuthi amaphesenti angu-0.02 kuphela wamandla asetshenziswa isitshalo ekwenzeni i-photosynthesis azodingeka ekukhiqizeni ukukhanya. Baphinde bagcizelela ukuthi ngenxa yesimo sezitshalo esimeme kanye nokuntuleka kwezingxenye eziphukayo, lezi zihlahla ezikhazimulayo zingasebenza njengezinye izindlela ezinhle zokukhanyisa emgwaqweni.
