Rice wine production is a sophisticated fermentation process that harnesses a diverse array of microbial communities to convert carbohydrates and other substrates into ethanol and a suite of ...

The role of soil and forests in greenhouse gas sequestration has been studied for a long time. However, forests are also home to invisible organisms that may affect the climate. "Soil, water and ...

The land-water ecotones, such as coastal areas, wetlands, riverine zones, and aquifer recharge areas, serve as important transition zones, fostering intricate biogeochemical processes between ...

With increasing urgency to address climate change, converting greenhouse gases into valuable resources has become a key focus ...

Microbial systems offer distinct advantages in protein expression, saving costs and time, and offering well-characterized host genetics and ease of scale-up. 2 However, challenges remain in process ...

Researchers show that rising temperatures in northern regions may damage peatlands: critical ecosystems for storing carbon from the atmosphere -- and could decouple vital processes in microbial ...

Would you wear clothing or, say, shoelaces or a belt made of muscle fibers? What if those fibers could endure more energy before breaking than cotton, silk, nylon, or even Kevlar, and be produced ...

Microbes are by far the most important factor in determining how much carbon is stored in the soil, according to a new study with implications for mitigating climate change and improving soil health ...

ISS BioAsteroid study shows bacteria and fungi can extract metals from meteorite material in microgravity, offering insights for future space resource use ...
