The subtropical estuary Galveston Bay (Texas) is influenced by frequent riverine pulses from two important rivers in its northern sector and by ocean tides from the Gulf of Mexico in its southern ...

A size-structured ecosystem model was developed and fitted to an extensive set of observations of size-fractionated biomass, primary and heterotrophic bacterial production, respiration, particle flux, ...

A quick survey of life on Earth will usually yield two groups: those that produce their own nutrients and those that must get them from other lifeforms. Plants generally fall into the first category, ...

As climate change and a growing global population strains our existing food supply, scientists are looking on land and at sea for innovative solutions.

This diagram shows how researchers converted a common laboratory sugar eating (heterotrophic) E. coli bacterium (left) to produce all of its biomass from CO2 (autotrophic) by metabolic engineering ...

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have generated strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli that consume just CO 2 as their nutrient source, instead of organic compounds. They ...

Over the course of several months, researchers created Escherichia coli strains that consume carbon dioxide for energy instead of organic compounds. This achievement in synthetic biology highlights ...
