Scientists have solved a long-standing mystery about methanogens, unique microorganisms that transform electricity and carbon dioxide into methane. The results could pave the way for microbial ...

Who says biologists only like to sit in their labs doing research? The theory proves wrong with CSUN’s Larry Baresi, a Northridge resident who enjoys cooking, making wines, riding his bike, hiking, ...

The process by which plants and algae acquire sulfur—converting sulfate into sulfide—requires a lot of energy and produces harmful intermediates and byproducts that need to be immediately transformed.

This article is based on a poster originally authored by R. Pinto-Lopes, M. Kerr, B. Boyle, G. PJMullan, and K Thompson. Intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO) is characterized by an excessive ...
