Languages: English. Deep-sea researchers have launched a groundbreaking project to investigate "dark oxygen"—a form of oxygen produced in total darkness on the ocean floor. The initiative ...

The international team describes their results and the underlying molecular mechanism in Cell Metabolism. Ergothioneine is a natural compound found in certain fungi such as oyster or shiitake ...

Through a series of chemical reactions, the microbes were able to break down soluble compounds called nitrites, molecules made of one nitrogen and two oxygen atoms, to produce molecular oxygen in ...

If oxygen can be made in the dark ocean on Earth, researchers believe it could be happening on other planets Scientists who recently discovered that metal lumps on the dark seabed make oxygen ...

Scientists who recently discovered that metal lumps on the dark seabed make oxygen, have announced plans to study the deepest parts of Earth's oceans in order to understand the strange phenomenon.

A new study by Weill Cornell Medicine and the Boyce Thompson Institute reveals that the body produces a molecule, BA-MCY, which counteracts gut microbes’ signals to regulate bile acid production, ...

"But the release of oxygen from bacterial mats does not, because it is limited by the speed of molecular diffusion. This subtle uncoupling of oxygen release from sunlight is at the heart of the ...
