Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic lager beer drank in moderation can improve gut microbes in men – lessening the chances of developing chronic diseases.
Could soil microbes be a solution to the climate crisis?
Research from Arpita Bose’s lab combines nature with the laboratory to innovate solutions to our global climate crisis
Much of the focus on climate change mitigation lies in reducing anthropogenic emissions of carbon greenhouse gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, CO2; methane, CH4), which continue to increase. An additional consideration is the...
Forest microbes that can survive and even thrive from megafires
Research from UC Riverside finds that fungi and bacteria can survive redwood tanoak forest megafires – they can even increase in number after feeling the flames.
