A new process-based model reveals that termites process roughly 1,569 teragrams of carbon per year, making them a substantial and previously overlooked force in global soil carbon cycling and ...

When it comes to diatoms that live in the ocean, new research suggests that photosynthesis is not the only strategy for accumulating carbon. Instead, these single-celled plankton are also building ...

An integrated multi-omics study of rice seed germination reveals a three-phase carbon metabolism program, from ...

UC Riverside researchers have discovered a piece that was missing in previous descriptions of the way Earth recycles its carbon. As a result, they believe that global warming can overcorrect into an ...

By analyzing peat moss cell surface chemistry, researchers identified how these bogs store more carbon than all other living ...

Reaching net-zero carbon emissions goals requires finding transformative paths to manage carbon in difficult-to-electrify economic sectors. A major approach to achieving net-zero carbon emissions ...

Three modules forming a new-to-nature CO2 fixation cycle have been successfully implemented in E.coli. "Bringing parts of the THETA cycle into living cells is an important proof-of-principle for ...

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most abundant and perhaps the most important to human life. Everywhere you look, ...

This image shows a comparison between the synthetic biology–engineered plant (right) and the wild-type plant. Dr. Liao’s team has developed a novel “McG plant” with a mechanism that recycles the ...
