Methane associated with coal beds is an important global resource of natural gas. Much of the methane in coal comes from microbial methanogenesis.

While all soil has microbes living in it, disease-suppressive soil has certain types of microbes that can fight off disease.

“We’ve always attributed those things to the plants themselves, what we’re increasingly understanding is the characteristic of their plant is somet

I always thought that, the less yard waste I removed from a property, the better.

On June 3rd, a train loaded with highly volatile crude oil derailed just outside the small town of Mosier in Oregon’s Columbia River Valley.

The term autophagy means “self” (auto) “eating” (phagy also refers to phagocytes which are immune cells that eat debris and microbes).

Typically, our gut microbiota consists of several thousand different types of bacteria, as well as other microbes such as viruses and yeasts.
