NewsScientists uncover mechanism used by archaea to break down crude oil
Researchers have demonstrated that archaea use a previously unknown mechanism to degrade liquid petroleum alkanes at high temperatures without the presence of oxygen.

NewsMicrobes that “eat together” may benefit from a shared immunological memory
A new study examines viruses that infect microbes in the deep sea and finds evidence that viruses interact with a far more diverse set of hosts than was previously thought.
-
NewsMethanogen genomes reveal how life thrives in extreme conditions
A comparison of the genomes of methane-producing microorganisms reveals that temperature adaptation might not be genomically encoded, but rather enforced through protein regulation and finer scale adaptations in amino acids.
-
NewsHundreds of newly discovered microbes could be used as natural fertilizer for poor soil
The discovery of hundreds of previously unknown microbes in a Brazilian ecosystem could potentially form a basis for the development of biological substitutes for the chemical fertilizers used by farmers, especially those containing phosphorus.
-
NewsNew technique reveals marine microbes’ outsized role in carbon cycle
A small fraction of marine microorganisms are responsible for most of the consumption of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide in the ocean, new research suggests.
-
NewsDiscovery of world’s oldest DNA breaks record by one million years
Microscopic fragments of environmental DNA dating back two million years has been found in Ice Age sediment in northern Greenland, opening a game-changing new chapter in the history of evolution.
-
NewsResearchers cultivate ‘impossible’ microbe that can grow on nitrogen while producing methane
Researchers have managed to grow a marine heat-loving methanogen that can turn nitrogen and carbon dioxide into ammonia and methane by using hydrogen.
-
NewsMethane-eating ‘borgs’ have been assimilating earth’s microbes
Scientists have described the curious collection of genes in so-called borgs, DNA packages that could help humans fight climate change.
