“#Safe thresholds for antibiotics in sewage needed to help combat antibiotic resistance” Credit: CC0 Public Domain New research reveals current understanding of safe antibiotic levels in rivers may not prevent evolution of antibiotic resistance and fully protect human health. The study suggests the need to introduce thresholds to help fight the spread of resistant bacteria….

“#Algal symbiosis could shed light on dark ocean” A spotted salamander is surrounded by eggs that contain a symbiotic alga during a spring egg-laying event. New research reports that the eggs compete with the algae to assimilate carbon from their surroundings – a finding that could inform similar processes in the dark ocean.

#A continental-scale prediction on the functional diversity of stream microbes

Admin6 years ago05 mins

“#A continental-scale prediction on the functional diversity of stream microbes” Credit: CC0 Public Domain A recent research find indicates that climate change increases the functional diversity of microbes living in streams. Consequently, climate change may, in certain cases, be beneficial to ecosystems. The functional genes of microbes and their sufficient diversity are important indicators of…
