Microbes on marine snow may slow how far ocean carbon sinks
Bacteria riding on sinking ocean particles can erode the mineral ballast that helps those particles descend, slowing the ...
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, ...

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 ...
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 ...
Depending on others for something you need may feel like a risky proposition—and perhaps a human one. It is actually a survival strategy found in the microbial world, and far more frequently than one ...
As mice age, changes in the microorganisms in their guts contribute to cognitive decline by altering signalling between the gut and brain.
Human skin harbors a wide range of microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses. In fact, recent estimates indicate that over 10 11 microbial cells could be present on skin surfaces.
A microorganism whose evolutionary roots can be traced to the era of the first multicellular animals may provide a glimpse of how single-celled organisms made a critical evolutionary leap. In ...
The "hygiene hypothesis" suggests exposure to diverse types of microbes may protect against developing diseases caused by allergens, but a new study in mice reveals that adults' exposure to diverse ...
