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 ...

Who says biologists only like to sit in their labs doing research? The theory proves wrong with CSUN’s Larry Baresi, a Northridge resident who enjoys cooking, making wines, riding his bike, hiking, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

Archaea are small single-celled microorganisms (microbes) that form one of the three domains of cellular life, along with bacteria and eukaryotes. They do not possess a nucleus and therefore belong to ...

It's tough to be a microbe. Microbes often live in extreme environments and feed on waste materials-processing them in ways that are often useful-and they perform their tasks every day without any ...
