Microbial enzymes create precursors of nylon while avoiding harsh chemicals and energy-demanding heat.
Introduced traits remain stable, improving biofuel production in a field setting.
State-of-the-art mass spectrometer delivers unprecedented capability to scientists.
Research reveals that giant viruses acquire genes piecemeal from others, with implications for bioenergy production and environmental cleanup.
Researchers find a grass gene affecting how plants manage water and carbon dioxide that could be useful to growing biofuel crops on marginal land.
Plants and soil microbes may be altered by climate warming at different rates and in different ways, meaning vital nutrient patterns could be misaligned.
Teamwork provides insight into complicated cloud processes that are important to potential environmental changes in the Arctic.
For the first time, scientists pinpointed how often storms topple trees, helping to predict how changes in Amazonia affect the world.
A newly discovered metabolic process linking different bacteria in a community could enhance bioenergy production.
These enhanced tools will accelerate gene discovery and characterization, vital for new forms of fuel production.
Aircraft data show that ice particles are smaller and fall faster than models had assumed; correcting this issue in models improves simulation of deep, raining cloud systems.
