A research team led by Prof. Tan Zhiliang from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has uncovered the microbial mechanisms responsible for the low methane ...

In a study published in The Innovation, a research team led by Prof. TAN Zhiliang from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences advanced a new conceptual framework ...

Alberto Borges, oceanographer at the University of Liège, has conducted a comparative study in Belgium and Africa on the microbial oxidation of methane in rivers, a natural process in which certain ...

Microbial methane leaking from non-producing oil and gas wells is being emitted at rates about 1,000 times higher than previously estimated, according to a new study led by McGill University ...

A biological methane filter on the seafloor can form much faster than scientists previously believed. An international ...

Within every cow is a thriving ecosystem. Churning deep in its intestines, a massive fermentation chamber known as the rumen hosts a robust microbiome that can consume up to 100 pounds of feed daily.

Roughly two-thirds of all atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, comes from methanogens. Tracking down which methanogens in which environment produce methane with a specific isotope signature ...

Warming temperatures may cause methane emissions from wetlands to rise — by helping methane-producing bacteria thrive. Higher temperatures favor the activity of wetland soil microbes that produce the ...
