Genomic model research on Xinhua

Sampling just a few genes can reveal not only the “lifestyle” of marine microbes but of their entire environments, new research suggests. The finding means researchers may be able to predict the types of microbes that thrive in specific marine environments by sampling the genomes of just a few dominant species, according to research co-author… [Read More]

Genomic model research on redOrbit

The oceans, which make up 71 percent of our planet’s surface, are home to microorganisms that are adapted to life strategies along a continuum of two extremes: those that thrive in nutrient-rich waters often associated with warmer regions and those that prefer nutrient-poor waters. Collected from waters off the Alaskan coast, the bacterium Sphingopyxis alaskensis… [Read More]

Looking beyond biotech companies for microbe-based biofuels

If you’re feeling ill trying to keep up with all the strange biofuel news these days, you might want to have some lab tests run. You could have a form of E. coli poisoning, a cyanobacteria outbreak, or maybe you accidentally ingested some highly toxic fire moss or perhaps bumped into a desert locust –… [Read More]
