Carbon fixation by phytoplankton in the open ocean plays a key role in the global carbon cycle but is not fully understood. Until now researchers believed that cyanobacteria overwhelmingly accounted ...

Schemata for obtaining photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic taxonomic annotations from the metagenomic analyses (a), and method overview including the labeling chambers made of plexiglass and ...

In a step toward better understanding how the ocean sequesters carbon, new findings from UC Santa Barbara researchers and collaborators challenge the current view of how carbon dioxide is “fixed” in ...

Long before plants and algae, cyanobacteria were already performing photosynthesis—filling Earth's skies with oxygen and setting the stage for life as we know it. The ultra-prevalent bacteria are ...

Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) represent an urgent global issue, with communities already experiencing more extreme weather because of a changing climate. One strategy that ...
