Radiolysis of water may provide a continuous flux of an electron donor (molecular hydrogen) to subsurface microbial communities. We assessed the significance of this process in anoxic marine sediments ...

Soils release approximately 40–60 petagrams (Pg) of carbon annually into the atmosphere through microbial metabolism. Climate warming is projected to further enhance soil microbial respiration, ...

In a recent study published in Nature Microbiology, researchers use a genome-mining technique to investigate respiratory electron acceptor utilization in the human gut microbiota. Study: Dietary- and ...

Microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungi live together in neighborhoods known as microbial consortia. Some of these neighborhoods naturally exist in soils, food, water, and even the human gut ...

Discovery radically changes understanding of how lactic acid bacteria thrive in environment Discovery could lead to healthier, tastier food and minimize food waste This hybrid energy metabolism ...

The YgaV protein found in the enteric bacterium Escherichia coli plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis and antibiotic tolerance when exposed to sulfides, as shown in a recent study.

The organism, an early-evolving bacterium named Hydrogenobacter, thrives in the hydrothermal spring environments of Yellowstone National Park, which are rich in sulfur but have very low dissolved ...

The microbial communities that live in Yellowstone National Park are diverse and complex. The park is home to many fumaroles, geysers, and mud pots that heat-loving microorganisms live in and around.
