Quantifying the contribution of marine microorganisms to carbon and nitrogen cycles and their response to predicted ocean warming is one of the main challenges of microbial oceanography. Here we ...

Autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing communities, which are responsible for the rate-limiting step of nitrification in most soils, have not been studied extensively in semiarid ecosystems. Abundances of soil ...

EcoVerde removes odor and other contaminants through a biological process based on bacteria that feed on hydrogen sulfide. Air is extracted from sewage or industrial wastewater and sent to system ...

Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) convert light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. Interestingly, certain species can photosynthesize even in environments with low-calcium levels. Using ...

Over the course of several months, researchers in Israel created Escherichia coli strains that consume CO2 for energy instead of organic compounds. This achievement in synthetic biology highlights the ...

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have generated strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli that consume just CO 2 as their nutrient source, instead of organic compounds. They ...

A team of researchers has developed a groundbreaking kinetic model that captures the complex dynamics between microalgae and bacteria in anaerobic digestion (AD) wastewater. The model, named ADBA ...
