New method reveals chemical signs of early microbial life in ancient Earth rocks, showing photosynthesis evolved much earlier ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling ...

University of Haifa’s Dr. Derya Akkaynak calls the study 'a critical baseline' that will enable future research to better ...

Ancient microbial activity preserved in deep seafloor sediments challenges assumptions about where fragile traces of early ...

Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

Coral reefs appear to run a daily timetable for microscopic life in nearby waters. Scientists found that microbial ...

Researchers have launched the first coordinated plan to protect microbial biodiversity, calling attention to the “invisible 99% of life” that drives essential Earth systems. The IUCN has formally ...

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 ...
