Microbially influenced corrosion (MIC), is acknowledged to be the direct cause of
catastrophic corrosion failures, with associated damage costs ranging to many billions of US …

A revolution is occurring in biology: perhaps it is better characterized as a revolution within a
revolution. I am, of course, referring to the impact that the increasingly rapid capacity to …

Over 20% of Earth's terrestrial surface is underlain by permafrost with vast stores of carbon
that, once thawed, may represent the largest future transfer of carbon from the biosphere to …

Granular activated carbon (GAC) is added to methanogenic digesters to enhance
conversion of wastes to methane, but the mechanism (s) for GAC's stimulatory effect are …

Farmed ruminants are the largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions globally. The
methanogenic archaea responsible for these emissions use molecular hydrogen (H2) …

Antimony (Sb) contamination released from mine tailings represents a global threat to
natural ecosystems and human health. The geochemical conditions of Sb tailings, which are …

Copper and silver are antimicrobial metals, on whose surface bacteria do not grow. As our
paper demonstrates, this commonly reported antimicrobial property does not apply to …

Because a natural entity “species” cannot be recognized as a group of strains that is
genetically well separated from its phylogenetic neighbors, a pragmatic approach was taken …

During attempts to obtain novel, human-associated species of the domain Archaea, a
coccoid micro-organism, designated strain B10T, was isolated in pure culture from a sample …

Microbiological formation of methane has been occurring naturally for ages in such diverse
habitats as marshes, rice paddies, benthic deposits, deep ocean trenches, hot springs, trees …
