A Caltech-led study published in Nature Microbiology found that drought conditions increase the abundance of antibiotic-resistant microbes in soil, establishing a direct link between climate-driven ...

The soil beneath our feet is a huge carbon bank storing up to approximately three times more carbon than the entire atmosphere. That makes it a significant player in the future of our climate. If even ...

Every year, millions suffer, and thousands lose their lives to infections that were once easily treatable with the right dose ...

Scientists have discovered a new phylum of microbes in the Earth’s Critical Zone, an area of deep soil that restores water quality. Ground water, which becomes drinking water, passes through where ...

Researchers discovered that soil microbes in Kansas carry drought “memories” that affect how plants grow and survive. Native plants showed stronger responses to these microbial legacies than crops ...

Every grower wants bigger buds. Healthy plants. The kind of trichomes that glisten, with terpene and cannabinoid content that deliver the perfect full-spectrum high. That’s the goal, whether your ...

If you think fall is only about sweaters, pumpkin spice, and cozy evenings, think again—because underground, an invisible drama is unfolding. Beneath our feet, billions of microscopic organisms are ...

Multiomics approaches for understanding of the dynamic mechanisms of soil holobiont in mitigating salinity stress in plant hosts. PGPR = plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria; AMF = arbuscular ...

Learn how to make lactic acid bacteria to add beneficial microbial life to your garden Marco Thomas from Marco’s Microbes demonstrates how to make lactic acid bacteria from simple kitchen ingredients.

The best harvest for tomatoes starts with providing the best soil for tomatoes. Far from glamorous and usually lacking ...

We share the world with myriad creatures from microbes to plants, and it’s been said that we are all connected. In recent years, scientists have shown just how much of an impact microbes can have on ...

Most bacteria cannot be cultured in the lab-and that's been bad news for medicine. Many of our frontline antibiotics originated from microbes, yet as antibiotic resistance spreads and drug pipelines ...
