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 ...

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 ...

Nitrogen is essential for all life on Earth. In the global oceans, however, this element is scarce, and nitrogen availability is therefore critical for the growth of marine life. Some bacteria found ...

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

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 ...
