Newswise — Seaweed farming has captured global attention as a potential solution to remove atmospheric carbon dioxide and offer eco-friendly alternatives to carbon-intensive food and industrial ...

A soil-dwelling microbe has shown a surprising ability to trap carbon dioxide and turn it into rock. Scientists have discovered that Bacillus megaterium, a common bacterium long known for its role in ...

Harvard and Stanford researchers genetically engineered the marine bacterium Alteromonas macleodii to accelerate olivine weathering, boosting atmospheric carbon capture. Tested in custom bioreactors, ...

A critical review in Plant and Soil finds that biochar could plausibly intercept labile root-exudate carbon and convert it ...

Researchers reveal how bacterial organelles self-assemble, uncovering enzyme structures that could drive advances in carbon capture, crop yields, and sustainable materials. (Nanowerk News) The ...

A metagenomic study of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau grasslands shows that six years of active restoration boosts soil carbon, but the gains accumulate mainly as vulnerable particulate organic carbon shaped b ...

Tucked away in the most extreme nooks and crannies of the Earth are biodiverse galaxies of microorganisms — some that might help scour the atmosphere of the carbon dioxide mankind has pumped into it.

Researchers from Aarhus University (AU) have developed a new technology that uses microorganisms to convert the CO 2 in flue gas directly for new purposes—for example fuels or substances for the ...

Two new studies have outlined novel ways to capture small amounts of carbon, and which could be scalable for larger applications. In one study, investigators developed a system that uses bacterial ...

A new study shows that increasing plant diversity in agriculture can be used to improve the carbon sequestration potential of agricultural soils. As the agricultural sector strives to reduce its ...

Illustration showing the overview of seaweed-associated microbes, their beneficial functions functions that shape seaweed health and resilience against pathogens and environmental change. The right ...
