The process by which plants and algae acquire sulfur—converting sulfate into sulfide—requires a lot of energy and produces harmful intermediates and byproducts that need to be immediately transformed.
Sulfur is a fundamental element of life and all organisms need it to synthesize cellular materials. Autotrophs, such as plants and algae, acquire sulfur by converting sulfate into sulfide, which can ...
Methanogenic archaea are major players in the global carbon cycle and in the biotechnology of anaerobic digestion. The phylum Euryarchaeota includes diverse groups of methanogens that are interspersed ...
Microbiologists D.J. Ferguson and Xin Wang recently received a $343,030 Research in Undergraduate Institutions (RUI) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study microbes that produce ...
Archaea are small single-celled microorganisms (microbes) that form one of the three domains of cellular life, along with bacteria and eukaryotes. They do not possess a nucleus and therefore belong to ...
Scientists reveal how a methane-generating microbe can grow on toxic sulfite without becoming poisoned. Methanogens are microorganisms that produce methane when little or no oxygen is present in their ...
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - A University of Arkansas researcher and his colleagues have created the first methane-producing microorganism that can metabolize complex carbon structures, which could lead to ...
Syngas biomethanation—converting CO/CO₂/H₂ into renewable methane—relies on coordinated microbial interactions. This study reveals that excess ...
Microbiologists show that methanogenic archaea do not always need to form methane to survive. It is possible to bypass methanogenesis with the seemingly simpler and more environmentally friendly ...
