Getting rid of the methane is great, but the story is even better because in the process some of these microbes are also able to “fix” nitrogen out of the air and use it as a key nutrient.

Believe it or not, lightning and bacteria are primarily responsible for turning atmospheric nitrogen into nitrogen living ...

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new reactor that can produce ammonia directly from air and water — without releasing any greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Stanford researchers have found a surprising genetic twist in a lineage of microbes that may play an ... biochemist Lance Seefeldt. "We need nitrogen to survive, but we can't take it in from ...

This may also prevent it from fully engaging with beneficial bacteria. Our team of researchers has identified potential ...
