Nitrogen is essential for all life on Earth. In the global oceans, however, this element is scarce, and nitrogen availability is therefore critical for the growth of marine life. Some bacteria found ...

Using a mathematical model, an international team of researchers has been able to show that heterotrophic bacteria inside ...

How on Earth?It has puzzled scientists for years whether and how bacteria, that live from dissolved organic matter in marine waters, can carry out N2 ...

The magnitude of the N 2 fixation and the distinct distribution ... expected to have indirect and delayed impact on the oceanic nitrogen cycle compared to that of cyanobacteria.

Integrating these traits with climate resilience strategies could also enhance their value, particularly in marginal or low-input systems. The integration of nitrogen fixation traits into modern maize ...

The U.S. Department of Energy granted Dr. Jean-Michel Ané and his colleagues $5.5 million to study systems to cut synthetic ...

Beans are a key food at the dietary level, boasting high nutritional value and constituting the most directly consumed legume.

A UCO team has applied the genome editing technique, which garnered a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020, to unravel the functions of two genes involved in the metabolism of beans and that could not be ...

In place of synthetic fertilizer, Pivot Bio has engineered nitrogen-producing microbes to make farming more sustainable.

Key work combining soil science, pasture management, and dairy production research ensures more sustainable farming practices ...
