A study of wild African herbivores offers new insight into how environmental conditions—not just diet and anatomy—can ...

Current technologies could identify the abundance and functions of specific microbes, and evaluate their individual effects on microbial ecology. However, these microbes interact with each other, as ...

Roughly two-thirds of all emissions of atmospheric methane—a highly potent greenhouse gas that is warming planet Earth—come from microbes that live in oxygen-free environments like wetlands, rice ...

New research shows that nanoplastics in water can strengthen bacteria, raising concerns about drinking water safety.

Methane-eating microbes could help convert one of the most powerful greenhouse gases into useful ...

Image: A CU-Boulder-led team has discovered some rare, primitive microorganisms on high volcanoes in South America that may be fueled by drifting gases in the region rather than photosynthesis. (Image ...

More than 3.5 billion years ago, the Earth was not the hospitable world we know today. The atmosphere lacked oxygen, the seas ...

The plot on the left illustrates the unique characteristics of the urban environmental antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) abundance across different countries. The top right plot indicated that, for ...

The colour in our clothes has many serious environmental consequences, from the use of fossil fuel by-products to manufacture dyes to the heavily polluted water left after dyeing. But a UK-based ...

"We hope the impact of this research will be to guide future studies that keep astronauts healthy during extended space travel and in colonizing space." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
