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 ...

Methanogenic archaea are increasingly being recognized as functional players in the gut’s ecosystem, rather than merely producers of gas. A tightly controlled human feeding study suggests that ...

Researchers test the viability of methane-producing microorganisms on different types of soils similar to those found on Mars. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — University of Arkansas researchers have tested the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Microbiologists D.J. Ferguson and Xin Wang recently received a $343,030 Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study microbes that produce ...

Sulfur is a fundamental element of life and all organisms need it to synthesize cellular materials. Autotrophs, such as plants and algae, acquire sulfur by converting sulfate into sulfide, which can ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
