ASU scientists found that people whose gut microbes make more methane extract more calories from fiber-rich foods. Methanogens help the microbiome turn fiber into energy by consuming hydrogen and ...

Anaerobic digestion is widely used around the world to treat organic waste while producing biogas, a renewable energy source ...

Coming up: New Year - New Volunteer Opportunities on the Teaneck Patch calendar ...

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

It's been known for nearly a century that swarms of single-celled organisms thrive by consuming chemicals from their environments and expelling methane gas as a byproduct. In 2024, researchers in the ...

Turning a waste gas into useful fuel sounds like science fiction. In a set of careful lab trials, Norwegian researchers used thin layers of microbes in a reactor to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen ...

ArkeaBio—a startup developing a vaccine to cut livestock methane emissions—has announced the first close of a Series A+ round at $7 million and brought in Frank Wooten, cofounder of virtual fencing ...

Seaweed washing onto sandy shores does more than rot. A new study found that it fuels oxygen-tolerant microorganisms that pump methane into the air, overturning a long-held scientific assumption about ...

It's hard to believe that there is anything positive that could come out of wildfires. They have devastated homes, taken lives, erased memories, leveled cities and destroyed our forests and wildlands.

Roughly two-thirds of all atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, comes from methanogens. Tracking down which methanogens in which environment produce methane with a specific isotope signature ...

An electron microscope image of single-celled methanogens, members of the archaea branch of the tree of life. They are ubiquitous in oxygen-free environments, turning simple foods into methane, a ...
