The ocean is full of invisible workers. Trillions of microbes quietly break down carbon-containing organic matter, which ...
Cement manufacturing and repair could be significantly improved by using biocement-producing bacteria, but growing the microbes at construction sites remains a challenge. Now, researchers report a ...
Ocean microbes control Earth's carbon cycle. Scientists found a simpler way to understand how these tiny organisms shape our ...
Some 95% of microbes remain mysterious because they can’t be grown in the lab. Yet researchers are keen to study these organisms and the potentially useful compounds they make. Tiny, semipermeable ...
