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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
