Here's why microbes in the deep ocean live without sunlight
Updated : 1 month, 3 weeks ago IST
A new study reverses the idea that the bulk of life in the ocean is fueled by photosynthesis via sunshine, revealing that many ocean microbes in fact get their energy from hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It has always been a mystery as to how microbes growing in deepest parts of the sea surviv

Researchers reveal diabetic retinopathy cause blindness in adults
Updated : 2 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Diabetic retinopathy, which results in progressive damage to the blood vessels in the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, is the main cause of blindness in adults in the United States. However, a study suggested that the small leaky intestine, which reduces the barrier between gut

Some stomachs digest faster than others due to microbes: Study
Updated : 3 months ago IST
According to recent research from the University of Copenhagen, some Danes may have a different makeup of gut microorganisms than other Danes, which allows them to, on average, absorb more energy from meals.

New ways microbes might help humans build colonies on Moon, Mars: Research
Updated : 3 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine have been motivated to consider new ways that microbes can assist humans in colonising the Moon and Mars by studying the biochemical process by which cyanobacteria absorb nutrients from rocks in Chile's Atacama Desert.

Updated : 3 months, 2 weeks ago IST
Researchers have come up with fresh ideas for how microbes might assist humans in establishing colonies on the moon and Mars in response to the biochemical process by which cyanobacteria in Chile's Atacama Desert obtain nutrients from rocks.

Study: New method reveals marine microbes' outsized role in carbon cycle
Updated : 3 months, 3 weeks ago IST
A new study led by researchers from Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences suggests that a small fraction of marine microorganisms are responsible for most of the consumption of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide in the ocean. This surprising discovery, published in Nature, came from a new
