Microplastics are abundant in municipal wastewater, with concentrations ranging from 10 to 470 particles per liter in sewage. Despite the vast scale of urban sewer systems—extensive underground ...
Anaerobic methane formation and anaerobic methane oxidation are important microbial processes in the global carbon cycle. Both processes are mediated by syntrophic communities of bacteria and archaea.
A new study suggests that cold-adapted microbes may act as a natural climate regulator, limiting greenhouse gas emissions as temperatures rise. Microbial cooperation helps stabilise fragile ...
