Arsenic is toxic to humans, but these microbes live and breathe it
Researchers from the School of Oceanography at the University of Washington have discovered how some microorganisms that live in portions of the ocean where oxygen is almost absent manage to thrive. Called marine oxygen-deficient zones (ODZs), these regions are sandwiched between the oxygen-rich surface and the deep layers. In their study, which appeared in the […]

Combining alginate coating with repetitive pulsed light treatment to preserve fresh-cut cantaloupe
In this study, researchers from Universiti Putra Malaysia optimized alginate coating formulations for the shelf life extension of fresh-cut cantaloupe treated with repetitive pulsed light (RPL). The results of their study were published in the Journal of Food Processing and Preservation. Interest in fresh-cut cantaloupes is growing due to the convenience and fresh-like quality they provide. However, […]

Biologists identify the protein that makes tendon-muscle connections last a lifetime
The collaboration between muscles and tendons is important for facilitating animal movement. Muscles are contractile tissues whose function is to produce force and motion. What keeps muscles in place and attaches them to the bones is a strong and flexible connective tissue called tendon. Muscles and tendons are connected to each other by attachments, which […]

Planthoppers “shake their bodies” to attract their mates
Planthoppers are Hemiptera or “true bugs” that are of great interest to scientists due to their destructive nature. Not only does their strange way of eating cause damage to some plants, it also makes them unwitting vectors of plant diseases. Recently, however, a group of researchers from the University of Oxford in the U.K. discovered something about these […]

What are “designer” fatty acids, and what health benefits do they bring?
Fatty acids (FAs) are important components of lipids, which are organic compounds that are present in living cells in the form of fats, oils, and hormones. When three FAs are attached to a glycerol backbone, they form triacylglycerol (TAG), a type of neutral lipid commonly found in vegetable oils and human fat. The nutritional value, health […]

Wisdom of the ancients: Plants possess a form of rudimentary intelligence
The Earth is a world of organizational interdependence. In the hierarchy of life forms, humans rank above animals, and animals rank above plants, and so on. But while evolution has elevated humans a few notches above other organisms, a study on the functional capabilities of plants reveal that they could be just as intelligent, with a higher level of organization […]

Conservation agriculture optimizes nitrogen use and weed management
In this study, researchers from the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute in India focused on efficient nitrogen (N) management and weed management in the Indo-Gangetic Plains using different means. The results of their study were published in the journal Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science. Conservation agriculture (CA) practice increases agronomic productivity and soil fertility. However, CA stimulates N immobilization […]

Bee smarts: Scientists discover the insects can do basic math
Animals are able to understand and use numbers on a rudimentary level. They apply this understanding to important tasks, such as foraging and managing resources, which ensure their survival. So far, only humans and a few animal species have demonstrated the ability to do complex arithmetic operations. But a new study conducted by researchers from France and Australia show that honeybees […]
