Conventional aerobic methanotrophs have metabolic versatility under anoxia
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential 28 –34 times that of carbon dioxide on a centennial time scale. Microbial CH4 oxidation acts as a biofilter, preventing more than 90% of CH4 from entering the atmosphere......»»
Systems metabolic engineering: Microbial cell factories as a source of eco-friendly food and cosmetic coloring
Despite decades of global population growth, a global food crisis seems to be imminent again. Food productivity has been cut severely due to prolonged abnormal weather from intensifying climate change. In addition, the global food supply chain has de.....»»

A new study by researchers at the University of Cambridge reveals a surprising discovery that could transform the future of electrochemical devices. The findings offer new opportunities for the development of advanced materials and improved performan.....»»
New breakthrough shows how short pulses of light destroy particles
Polaritons are a peculiar state, a kind of quasi-particles consisting of part-light and part-matter that can bring unexpected abilities to conventional chemical reactions. New research from Umeå University and others reveals that when the polaritons.....»»
Satellite-based disaster early warning systems can improve evacuation measures in remote Asian communities
Communities in Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Mongolia, where conventional ground-based telecommunication systems have limited reach, are prone to disruption during extreme disaster events, and warning information is often unclear, distorted, or delayed. Re.....»»
In the mood for giving: Charitable donations may be more about how you feel before giving, not after
Conventional wisdom suggests that we give to charity at least partly because of post-donation warm and fuzzies that make us feel great inside. Turns out, it might be the other way around......»»
New protein scaffolds for assembling multi-enzyme systems with unprecedented control
Cell-free biocatalysis is being increasingly used as a substitute for conventional chemical catalysts, given that enzymes (biological catalysts) are more sustainable and selective in the manufacture of valuable chemicals. Chemical biomanufacturing ha.....»»
Research questions value of sagebrush control in conserving sage grouse
Efforts to improve sage grouse habitat through conventional management practices may be ineffective—and even counterproductive—according to research by University of Wyoming and other scientists......»»
Combination therapy shown to be effective against canine melanoma
Melanomas are the most common oral cancers in dogs. They are highly metastatic and conventional chemotherapy does not increase survival time. Canine oral melanomas are similar to human melanomas; thus, research is being conducted into adapting treatm.....»»
Akkermansia muciniphila found to regulate cholesterol biosynthesis in the gut
A study led by Duke University has looked into the operating mechanisms of Akkermansia muciniphila, a gut microbe associated with lower rates of metabolic disorders......»»
Nucleoside analogs for messenger RNA metabolic labeling and sequencing
High-throughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is widely used to profile global cellular gene expression and gain insights into cellular biological processes; however, effectively tracking dynamic changes in cellular mRNA expression remains a challenge. Be.....»»
Scientists quantify regulation factors contributing to flux changes in the central metabolic pathway in yeast
Metabolic reaction flux change is the final result of interacting regulations by intracellular gene expression, transcriptional regulation, protein level, translation modification, and allosteric effect. However, the regulatory mechanism of metabolic.....»»
