Spider-like creatures living near methane seeps on the seafloor appear to cultivate and consume microbial species on their bodies that feed on the energy-rich gas. This expands the set of organisms ...

Methanotrophic bacteria represent a unique group of microorganisms capable of utilising methane as their sole carbon and energy source. These bacteria are at the forefront of research into sustainable ...

Scot Miller is an assistant professor in Johns Hopkins University's Department of Environmental Health and Engineering whose research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. His ...

We don't all respond to the same diets in the same way, and results from a new study help explain why: Gut microbes that naturally produce more methane are also able to squeeze more energy and ...

It's been known for nearly a century that swarms of single-celled organisms thrive by consuming chemicals from their environments and expelling methane gas as a byproduct. In 2024, researchers in the ...

You never know what you might find on a deep-sea dive. Crushing pressures can yield big discoveries, or in some cases, very small. Bianca Dal Bó is a recent graduate from LA’s Occidental College, and ...

Methane leaks from sites like rice paddies, landfills, dairy farms and coal mines could be plugged with the help of gas-guzzling bacteria, helping to curb near-term global warming. Later this year, ...

Cable bacteria are filamentous microorganisms that perform electrogenic sulphur oxidation (e-SOx), a process whereby electrons generated from the oxidation of sulfide in anoxic sediment layers are ...

Major trading house Mitsui & Co. will launch a greenhouse gas emissions reduction project in Bangladesh utilizing rice ...

Reducing sulphur in the air may inadvertently increase natural emissions of methane from wetlands such as peatlands and swamps, a new study has found. The resulting additional future release of 20-34 ...
