The U.S. Department of Energy granted Dr. Jean-Michel Ané and his colleagues $5.5 million to study systems to cut synthetic ...

Soils around the world are polluted, worn out, over-fertilised and exhausted. How did we get to a place where we think of soil as dirt? Soils are buzzing with life, criss-crossed with a hard-to-fathom ...

Excitingly, the team used genetic approaches to show that the same gene mutation in wheat enhances colonization by nitrogen fixing bacteria and AMF in field conditions too. The findings represent ...

Discover the truth about the vibrant purple flower that is an invasive weed in some areas. Explore native alternatives that ...

The project, part of ARPA-E's TEOSYNTE program, aims to decrease agricultural emissions and costs by leveraging the power of symbiotic relationships between crops and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

Banerjee added that cultivating water-intensive crops degrades the soil because so much water is added, the air is reduced.

Legumes form a symbiotic relationship with a type of bacteria in the Rhizobium genus ... This process is known as nitrogen fixation. How does the nitrogen get over into the grass? The legume is able ...

It has puzzled scientists for years whether and how bacteria, that live from dissolved organic matter in marine waters, can carry out N2 fixation. It was assumed that the high levels of oxygen ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer.
