NewsRiver drinking water sources may face greater antibiotic resistance risks than reservoirs, study finds
A basin-wide study of 13 drinking water sources in China’s Poyang Lake region shows that water source type can strongly shape the occurrence and spread of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes, and resistant bacteria.

NewsFirst results published from major algal gene sequencing project
A new study reveals that different species of microscopic algae can behave in strikingly different ways because of their genetics.

NewsSwimming in rivers and lakes linked to higher risk of stomach bugs and rashes
Researchers have found that people swimming in rivers and lakes were more than twice as likely to develop skin problems, while higher levels of bacteria linked to faecal pollution were associated with an increased risk of stomach bugs.

NewsTiny ocean plankton holds clues to the future of Maine lobster
Researchers have discovered that planktonic baby lobsters, or larvae, preferentially feed on Calanus finmarchicus, a tiny, calorie-rich zooplankton species, during one of the most vulnerable stages of their lives.

NewsPomegranate emerges as a promising natural phytobiotic for veterinary medicine
Researchers have identified a broad range of biological properties in pomegranate with potential for use in medical applications, including antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects.

NewsBiochar as an “electron bridge” unlocks hidden power of energy‑saving wastewater treatment
New research reveals how a charcoal‑like material triples electron transfer capacity in ammonia‑removing microbes, cutting wastewater treatment costs by up to 90%.

NewsAdding iron to the ocean can remove CO2 – but at what cost to nature?
Adding iron to the ocean can cause plankton to absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere. However, the effect depends on where in the world the method is used, and it can have far-reaching consequences for marine ecosystems and food chains.

NewsA tiny pore identifies cyanobacteria toxins in lake water
Scientists have developed a new nanopore sensor that detects microcystins, toxins released by cyanobacterial blooms, one molecule at a time.

NewsHigh-resolution map reveals where veterinary antibiotics enter China’s environment
A new study has developed a high-resolution, county-level inventory of veterinary antibiotic emissions across China, offering researchers and policymakers a clearer picture of where these pollutants originate and where they may accumulate.

NewsWhat D.C.’s algal bloom reveals about a growing water threat
Environmental engineer Steven Chapra speaks out about cyanobacteria algal blooms in the newly renovated Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, expanding on why harmful algal blooms are a growing concern, and what they may mean for freshwater ecosystems.

NewsRice-crayfish farming strengthens soil nutrient cycling
Using metagenomic sequencing, a study has shown that integrated rice-crayfish systems increase the abundance of functional genes involved in methane oxidation, nitrogen degradation, denitrification, organic phosphorus mineralization, and phosphorus transport compared with rice monoculture. Source: Brian Tomlinson from Milton Keynes, UK Crayfish. The paddy planting area within ...

NewsUnsafe water still drives global diarrheal disease burden
A new study, analysing data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 database, found that deaths and disability-adjusted life years linked to unsafe water have declined sharply over the last three decades. Nevertheless, the burden remains concentrated in low socio-demographic index regions.
