Scientists have discovered that methane in the open ocean is produced by microbes under nutrient-poor conditions, solving a ...
Some bacteria are able to tap into unusual sources of nutrients in the surface water of the oceans. This enables them to increase their primary production and extract more carbon dioxide from the ...
The world's oceans may be quietly amplifying climate change in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. In a new ...

Cow burps are a major source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that heats up the planet more than 80 times faster than CO2 when it’s first released. But a new enzyme—from a startup that usually ...
Nickel, an important trace nutrient for the single cell organisms that produce methane, may be a useful isotopic marker to pinpoint the past origins of these methanogenic microbes, according to Penn ...
Infinite vastness: Gases are constantly exchanged between the ocean and the atmosphere. The study presented here shows how tiny marine organisms contribute significantly to the release of the ...
