New Microbes Help Crops Fix Their Own Nitrogen Monday Jan 4th, 2021 News Reporter It’s time for your Farm of the Future Report. I’m Tim Hammerich. Legumes like soybeans and pulses don’t require added nitrogen fertilizer because of the symbiotic relationship the plants have with beneficial microbes that fix nitrogen from the air. But imagine if we could give that same ability to other crops like corn and wheat? Pivot bio is using biotechnology to do just that. Here’s CEO Kars...

Problem in many arctic cities and melting permafrost also has consequences for the climate. organic matter trapped in the ground since woolly mammoths roamed the earth is being exposed. and with the microbes that devour these plants remains releasing c o 2 and methane into the air. greenhouse gases that warm up the atmosphere even more than one thing to invite a vicious circle. yeah the more the permafrost thaws and the more carbon is released its the male stuff i get. considerable quantities it...

Dr. michael gooseff, a hydro-ecologist and dr. byron adams, a biologist. >> anthony: so what are you looking at our here? >> michael: everything that lives here lives in the soil. we study the soil organisms mostly the animals the animals that live here, but also the microbes that those animals feed off of. >> anthony: right. >> byron: this is just a marker that tells us to stay on this trail. these soils are so sensitive that if we walk off the trail or whatever we could completely jack up the ...

Dan marrone will be looking through those telescopes at, get this, sagittarius a, the freakin black hole at the center of the milky way. >> dan: we think we know what black holes look like, but no ones ever actually looked at one and if you can build a telescope the size of the entire earth, you can actually see with enough resolution you can watch things just swirling around disappearing into the black hole. were basically taking every sublinear telescope in the world to synthesize one telescop...

Compressed and thus more stable than everything outside the area the piles keep everything together and prevent the substrate from being washed out thats the principle behind ground stabilization of the body. in this way the venetians created man made areas on which an entire city could gradually be built. because architects had discovered that the wooden piles did not bronze in the mud. the poles. underneath the buildings in the mud. that had been playing in oxygen free environment certainly no...

Principle behind ground stabilization of the body. in this way the venetians created man made areas on which an entire city could gradually be built. because architects had discovered that the wooden piles did not cross in the mud. the poles put up underneath the buildings in the mud. that prominently in oxygen spring environment certainly none of the microbes that would normally think a wood can get into that because the wood undergoes a process of mineralization it turns rock hard and remains ...

By alexander fleming who discovered penicillin back in the late 1920 s. and was later awarded the nobel prize for his work antibiotics at the scene for a paradigm shift in medicine they saved countless lives but bacteria evolve and a few of them always survive the encounter with the medicine pathogens eventually acquired resistance 1st to one then to more and more antibiotics then they multiply and pass it on they can even share their resistance with other microbes some multi resistant super bug...

Among them scientists have even identified earth like planets that could be habitable. in our solar system to there are places that could sustain life like on enceladus one of saturns moons its icy surface conceals an ocean that regularly shoots out plumes of water into space. there reminiscent of the hot springs in our oceans that maybe the sites where microscopic life originated and microbes are likely to be the 1st form of extraterrestrial life that we tracked down in space though it may take...

System to there are places that could sustain life like on enceladus one of saturns moons its icy surface conceals an ocean that regularly shoots out plumes of water and space. there reminiscent of the hot springs in our oceans that maybe the sites where microscopic life originated and microbes are likely to be the 1st form of extraterrestrial life that we tracked down in space though it may take us a few more decades yet. developed what is read why. do you have a science question that youve alw...

Will study microbes that could be used in research on antibiotic resistant bacteria . these are. little green top tubes is $15.00 each. and they. are for extracting d.n.a. out of samples all collect like a little bit of a pencil eraser size amount of material and ill insert it into these tubes and it will shake it around ill take it home will extract d.n.a. out of it home. the weather is good today so the scientists head out to do some work. when these mountains were formed millions of years ago...
