A huge mark in science, scientists have discovered interactions between currents and bacteria. This interaction is wildly unexpected, and this happened at the equator and is moving south towards the South Pole . A scientist named Loreto De Barbandere and Professor Bo Thamdrup explains what happened "The bacteria flow wit an ocean current, that comes from the equator and is heading towards the South pole. On their way south the bacteria rid the water of ammonia, which they eat and transform into nitrogen gas in the Oxygen Minimum Zone." This is important because there are harbors that are considered the Minimum Oxygen zone. Why is this important you ask, because they release atmospheric nitrogen gasses into the atmosphere so we can breathe. The three most important are the three I explained earlier the Oxygen Minimum Zones. Not only does it help us breath but it make up 80% of our atmosphere. These bacteria are eating up the nitrogen cycle and ruining the cycle. a few years ago these were discovered but this article explains the most recent activity, and is very important.
This is important to me because, not only do I want to breath I want t learn about tis stuff especially marine life which is why I chose this topic for today. I believe scientists should research even further to find out exactly where they are an grab samples and experiment with them. I am interested to learn more about marine science and look forward to doing more research.
The reason I chose this is because marine science is my favorite type of science. the ocean makes up almost 70% percent of the earth, not only does this interests me but It is important to me. although it dos not interest many people like me, but every one is entitled to their own opinion. I also chose this article because even thought bacteria isn't really interesting I would rather learn more about marine life more and maybe to learn more about ocean currents and ocean movement

and bacteria may weaken ocean's ability to absorb carbon dioxide."
