Researchers have mapped how microbes underpin our food systems—and how we can stop their decline. Published in Frontiers in Science, their map of "agri-food system microbiomes" reveals how players at ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the mechanisms behind the efficient nitrogen removal capabilities of pyrite-based mixotrophic denitrifying biofilters. The research, ...

Harmful algal blooms are not all the same. That's true even of the blooms within northwest Ohio, where researchers have long known that the strain of cyanobacteria that typically dominates blooms in ...

In recent decades, chronic diseases have risen sharply worldwide, including gastrointestinal disorders, metabolic diseases ...
