A new study finds that people whose gut microbiomes produce a lot of methane are able to unlock extra energy from a ...

Researchers have tested the methane production of three different types of microorganisms in different soil types that resemble those found on Mars to test the possibility of these soils harboring ...

Scientists have solved a long-standing mystery about methanogens, unique microorganisms that transform electricity and carbon dioxide into methane. The results could pave the way for microbial ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A temporal temperature gradient gel electrophoresis (TTGE) method was developed to determine the diversity of methanogen populations in the ...

Scientists have revealed two never-before-seen groups of microbes that live in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. Researchers from Montana State University made the discovery, published in ...

Archaea are small single-celled microorganisms (microbes) that form one of the three domains of cellular life, along with bacteria and eukaryotes. They do not possess a nucleus and therefore belong to ...

Microbial distribution, co-occurrence patterns and driving mechanisms in the Yellow River Delta across sedimentary time scales. In this image, the first, second and third plots (A, B and C) showed the ...

Something is happening beneath the ice on Saturn's moon Enceladus. Scientists have long-thought that the icy world could possibly play host to microbial life within the subsurface ocean, which is ...

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 ...

The process by which plants and algae acquire sulfur—converting sulfate into sulfide—requires a lot of energy and produces harmful intermediates and byproducts that need to be immediately transformed.
