NewsCows and microbes put to work to reduce greenhouse gases
An international team of scientists is recruiting a surprising ally to make a powerful dent in greenhouse gas emissions: the cow. Animal sciences researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are driving a new project to reduce methane production resulting from rumen fermentation in beef and dairy cattle. The 3-year, ...

NewsSoil microbes help plants cope with drought, but not how scientists thought
Researchers have found microbes help plants cope with drought, but not in response to plants’ cries for help - instead, the environment itself selects for drought-tolerant microbes.

NewsBacterial signalling across biofilm affected by surface structure
Researchers who examined how different structures affect biofilm growth and quoring signalling by the bacteria in the presence of antibiotics found structure does have an effect on QS in some strains of the bacteria.
