Our Microbial Auras Follow Us Everywhere We Go

Our Microbial Auras Follow Us Everywhere We Go

Home is where the microbes are, millions and millions of microbes. Every single household has a different microbial community, and every time we pack up our stuff and move someplace else, our microbiological auras move too, according to a study published in Science this week. These microbes can populate new homes within just a single day. 

“We know that certain bacteria can make it easier for…

Plant phosphorus nutrition under elevated CO2 (Review)

Plant phosphorus nutrition under elevated CO2 (Review)

Increasing attention is being focused on the influence of rapid increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration on nutrient cycling in ecosystems. An understanding of how elevated CO2 affects plant utilization and acquisition of phosphorus ( P ) will be critical for P management to maintain ecosystem sustainability in P-deficient regions. Jin et al. review possible mechanisms by which elevated CO2…

According to science! These 10 Weird, Unexpected Factors Determines Who You Fall For

According to science! These 10 Weird, Unexpected Factors Determines Who You Fall For

24 February 2015 | 1:55 pm

At this point in our lives, we’re all pretty familiar with the kinds of people to whom we’re attracted.

We have a preferred hair color, a preferred personality type, and a set of deal-makers (“You hate Pitbull, too?!”) and deal-breakers (“His breath smells like someone crawled into his mouth and died. I can’t.”).

Or, maybe we don’t have any of those things. Hell, maybe…

A research team has discovered a complex and diverse microbial ecosystem of bacteria and archaea in the waters and sediments of sub-glacial Lake Whillans, lying 800 meters beneath the surface of the West Antarctic ice sheet.

Researcher Dr. Brent Christner says of this discovery: “It is the first definitive evidence that there is not only life, but active ecosystems underneath the Antarctic ice sheet, something that we have been guessing about for decades. Given the prevalence of subglacial water in Antarctica, our data lead us to contend that aquatic microbial systems are common features of the subsurface environment that exists beneath the Antarctic ice sheet.”

This microbial community is dominated by Betaprotoebacteria, Thaumarchaeota, Gammaproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, and Bacteriodetes, among many others.
