"We used to think both reactive oxygen and nitrogen hurt bacteria in the same way, but our research found it's more complicated. While nitrogen-heavy environments kill bacteria, an oxygen-rich ...

Much of the nitrous oxide entering the atmosphere from the oceans could be formed by a previously unknown inorganic route.

If corn was ever jealous of soybean’s relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, advancements in gene editing could one day ...

For example, root exudates from legume plants (e.g., peas, clover, soybeans) serve as a signal to certain species of Rhizobium, which are nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This signal attracts the ...

Each bacterium must navigate through one of the pores, dodging the beating cilia, and then swim along a duct pumped full of toxic compounds known as reactive ... bacteria-housing root nodules that ...
