Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are upgraded to improve the quality of river water downstream, but the effects of such upgrades on aquatic ...

A 10-year investigation of two Beijing rivers shows that wastewater treatment plant upgrades significantly alter nitrogen-cycling microbial communities and viral ecology despite stable overall ...

Abstract: Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology is a highly typical method for treating flue gas NOx. However, to avoid the issue of unstable NOx emission control caused by instantaneous ...

Background The association between lower adult lung function and increased cardiovascular comorbidity has not been adequately explained. We investigated whether shared developmental signalling ...

A new study suggests that those with long-lived families probably have the best prospects of making it to a very old age. By Gina Kolata Gina Kolata recently reported on a study of the genes of the ...

Indiana’s Tippecanoe River, like rivers and streams around the world, helps to sequester nitrogen through a process called denitrification. Credit: Chris Light/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0 Human ...

Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling nutrients and breaking down or transforming pollutants. However, scientists ...

The term “metagenome” refers to the collective genetic material of microbial organisms within a given environment, which can be observed within or among individual “microbes” (single individuals or ...

Abstract: Large tree-of-life (ToL) scale databases of microbial genomes are powerful resources for exploring genome structure and function from a phylogenomic context. Despite the growing availability ...
