Microplastics in soil can create tiny microbial hotspots, potentially reshaping soil health and the long-term sustainability ...

Scientists have summarized microbial food production strategies. The global food crisis is increasing due to rapid population growth and declining food productivity to climate change. Moreover, ...

Every animal carries a microscopic community of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes that play a critical role in health. These gut microbes help regulate the immune system, support digestion, and even ...

Composting promises rich, dark soil that plants love, but when the pile refuses to heat up, frustration sets in fast. That cold, sluggish mound looks innocent, but beneath the surface, decomposition ...

Microbiology investigates the complexities of interactions among different microbial species and their higher eukaryotic ...

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 ...

Microbiologists are searching for a universal theory of how bacteria form communities based not on their species but on the roles they play. Bacteria don’t throw dinner parties or tell jokes, but they ...

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 ...

Millions of unknown microbial genes discovered in Antarctica’s ocean reveal a hidden ecosystem that may influence carbon cycling and climate.
