The discovery of non-cyanobacteria diazotrophs underneath Arctic sea ice could change our understanding of the food web, as well as the ocean's carbon budget.

Melting Arctic ice enables nitrogen-fixing microbes to feed algae and absorb carbon, challenging old climate views.

Researchers found that the fringes of Arctic sea ice tend to host more nitrogen-fixing bacteria and higher nitrogen-fixing ...

Most organisms require nitrogen to produce biological molecules, such as nucleotides and amino acids, but until recently, only prokaryotes were known to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere. “It’s a very ...

By the beginning of June this year, approximately 38 million tons of Sargassum drifted towards the coasts of the Caribbean ...

Melting Arctic sea ice can be a driving force behind a process called nitrogen fixation, where atmospheric nitrogen can be ...

As Arctic sea ice melts, new life may emerge from the thaw. Researchers have discovered that bacteria beneath and along the melting ice are converting nitrogen gas into a form that fuels algae. The ...

Manitoba research is testing whether reduced nitrogen fertilizer in dry beans can maintain yields while cutting costs and ...

Gingko Bioworks is extending a partnership agreement with Bayer to continue developing microbial nitrogen fixation ...
