Microbial Ecology, Vol. 74, No. 1 (July 2017), pp. 89-105 (17 pages) Semi-arid and arid areas occupy about 33% of terrestrial ecosystems. However, little information is available about microbial ...
“There are certainly, in the environment, cryptic antibiotic resistance genes that have yet to be transferred to human pathogens,” study coauthor Edward Topp, an environmental scientist at University ...
Soil extracellular enzymes catalyze soil biochemical processes, and the geographical patterns of their activities and stoichiometry can reflect soil microbial functional dynamics. In previous research ...
Researchers tested citrate-capped FePO4 nanofertilizer vs. triple superphosphate, assessing plant growth, nutrient uptake, and soil-microbe interactions. (Nanowerk News) Phosphorus deficiency is a ...
Early in 2025, scientists discovered a promising new antibiotic in a soil sample from a lab technician's backyard. The ...
Soils do more than store carbon from plant residues. Beneath our feet, vast communities of microbes quietly pull carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into organic matter, helping regulate ...
Scientists didn’t understand how bacteria divide up carbon sources into different paths for energy or to build new materials. Professor Ludmilla Aristilde; Professor Niall Mangan; Postdoctoral ...
