This is the time of the year for planning! Whether it is the garden, the yard, flower beds, shrubbery, perennials, you name it, the spring itch has hit in a big way. Catalogs are coming to fuel our ...

Bacteria used oxygen far earlier than expected, reshaping views on early life, evolution, and photosynthesis origins.

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

Microbial organisms dominate life on Earth, but tracing their early history and evolution is difficult because they rarely ...

A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from ...

Most of Australia’s plants rely on a hidden underground network of fungi for water and minerals. They could be in trouble – ...

So why do so many life-forms breathe oxygen? There are probably thousands of kinds of metabolisms, or chemical processes that ...

Photosynthesising microbes in soil may increase their activity as temperatures rise, offsetting some of the carbon emissions expected to be released from peatland and permafrost ...

Bullish (Video) Photosynthesis (3rd Ed, 1981) Posted: March 23, 2025 | Last updated: March 23, 2025 The film explores the vital role of plants and the process of photosynthesis in sustaining life ...

ZHONG Huan from Nanjing University, has uncovered a significant yet often overlooked consequence of microplastic pollution: its detrimental impact on photosynthesis-a critical process underpinning ...

New research puts those potential harms into sharp focus, estimating that microplastics may reduce photosynthesis rates by as much as 18 percent. An international team of researchers analyzed data ...
