In paddy field, flood-and-drain cycles produce variations in reduced and oxidized environments, which are appropriate habitats for a wide variety of microorganisms. Nitrogen (N) fertilization drives ...

A recent study reveals that bacteria residing within colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems closely linked to disease ...

Virtually all multicellular organisms on Earth live in symbiotic associations with very large and complex microbial communities known as microbiomes. New research has just been published aimed at ...

No matter where the body is buried, the microbial network behind the cadaver’s decomposition remains essentially the same. Researchers from Colorado State University (CSU) and the University of ...

A new scientific review has uncovered how complex microbial communities, including those in the human gut and the natural environment, act as powerful engines that drive the evolution and spread of ...

Current technologies could identify the abundance and functions of specific microbes, and evaluate their individual effects on microbial ecology. However, these microbes interact with each other, as ...

Microbes are usually cast as villains, yet most of the microscopic life on and around us is quietly keeping us alive. From the bacteria lining your gut to the organisms drifting in city air, these ...

The authors identify artificial intelligence as a turning point for food safety research. High-throughput sequencing, ...
