Ancient microbes illustrate a particular kind of respiration in which carbon dioxide and hydrogen are combined to form acetic ...

The trees exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen with the atmosphere through little “mouths” in their leaves and tiny “windows” ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

The authors suggest that the higher carbon dioxide concentrations in the warmer lakes can be explained by higher rates of respiration. Warm lakes might metabolize a greater proportion of the ...

Our not-to-distant future relatives could be in for a rough ride even if we manage to curb our carbon emissions, a new study ...

It is commonly assumed that as forest ecosystems age, they accumulate and store, or "sequester," more carbon. A new study based at the University of Michigan Biological Station untangled carbon ...

Our not-to-distant future relatives could be in for a rough ride even if we manage to curb our carbon emissions, a new study ...

Scientists at Goethe University uncover how the oldest enzyme in cellular respiration functions – opening the door to ...

Scientists have decoded the metabolic strategies of certain sulfur bacteria. A new study reports that the bacteria are found worldwide and have a complex metabolism with modular features.

What’s the weirdest thing you learned this week? Well, whatever it is, we promise you’ll have an even weirder answer if you ...

Global mean surface warming throughout the 21st century will be largely determined by cumulative emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2) and the other long-lived greenhouse gases, and what proportion of ...
