They thought ammonia-oxidizing microbes were doing the work. But the real carbon fixers were hiding in plain sight.

Corals obtain energy in two ways: firstly, through photosynthesis by their symbiotic algae, and secondly by taking up small food particles such as plankton directly from the water. In scientific terms ...

ABSTRACT: This study explores the long-term, efficient, and stable performance of partial nitrification (PN) achieved through gel immobilization technology for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB).

The authors have thoroughly addressed the reviewers' comments. The major addition to the paper is the proteomic analysis of single and double mutants of crp and rpoB. These new data provide clues as ...

Autotrophic phenotype achieved by introducing 3 mutations on top of a rationally designed ancestor. We transformed a wild-type BW25113 E. coli strain (black bacteria) with the carboxylating and energy ...

Microbiology researchers have shed new light on the mechanisms of carbon cycling in the ocean, using a novel approach to track which microbes are consuming different types of organic carbon produced ...

This study compared the rates and microbial community development in batch bioassays on autotrophic denitrification using elemental sulfur (S 0), pyrite (FeS 2), thiosulfate (S 2 O 3 2–), and sulfide ...
