Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling ...

The gut microbiome is made up of trillions of microbes that play a vital role in keeping us healthy. A disturbance in the balance of these microbes can contribute to a variety of health conditions, ...

Climate models are essential to predicting and addressing climate change, but can fail to adequately represent soil microbes, a critical player in ecosystem soil carbon sequestration that affects the ...

Researchers have created the largest collection of digital microbes -- nearly a quarter million computer models -- to help revolutionize our understanding of the human microbiome and its impact on ...

Scientists are uncovering a hidden ally in the fight against climate change and air pollution: the microscopic communities ...

Hundreds of different bacterial species live in the human gut, helping us to digest our food. The metabolic processes of these bacteria are not only tremendously important to our health -- they are ...

The new microbe-explicit soil model (left) versus DayCent’s previous soil model that did not explicitly model microbe activity (right). Of all the carbon stored in ecosystems around the world, about ...

The communities formed by human gut microbes can now be predicted more accurately with a new computer model developed in a collaboration between biologists and engineers, led by the University of ...

Researchers find that microbes on tree bark can alter greenhouse and toxic gases, shaping climate and air quality beyond ...

The vast community of microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract–the gut microbiome, has many close links to human health..
