A new review finds that biological ammonia production offers strong potential as a cleaner, greener alternative to the costly Haber-Bosch process. Microbes such as Azotobacter can produce ammonia under ambient conditions and atmospheric pressure.
Researchers showed evidence of electrical information flow across mushrooms by attaching electrodes to 37 mushrooms of ectomycorrhizal fungi, then measured the response to various applications of either water or urine.
Researchers have developed a microscopic DNA needle that delivers molecules directly into cells and helps keep them active. It may solve a major problem in modern medicine: many therapies are trapped inside cells and lose their effect.

An introduced bacterium displaces the sawtoothed grain beetle’s symbiotic partner, leading to the complete collapse of a previously stable symbiosis within a few generations.
Cholera-causing bacteria are locked in an evolutionary arms race with a viral nemesis, according to a new genomic study. Researchers found that in the Ganges Delta, cholera bacteria rapidly gain and lose special armour that protects against attacks from the virus, known as bacteriophage ICP1.
In a rare long-term public study that compared the effects of phytochemicals from rosemary and oregano with antibiotic growth promoters, animal scientists found that the natural agents given to weaned pigs supported favorable gut health and growth performance later in their lives.
