Site-Specific Hydrocarbon-Degrading Bacteria Consortium Developed Using Functional and Genomic Analyses Bioaugmentation, defined as the strategic incorporation of specifically selected microbial biomass into contaminated environments, can significantly enhance the biodegradation of pollutants and is extensively employed in soil bioremediation efforts. A multistep screening process was applied to devel...

Trees are complex organisms!

In a new Science study, researchers report that bark microbes process methane, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide, showing that bark is an important component of global trace gas dynamics.

Working in nature... the thing we love most!

Technology advances mean some scientists rarely leave the lab and have stopped doing field work. A feature in Nature reports how ecologists fear this loss could lead to error, bias and oversimplification of results.
