Microbes with the potential to cause disease are destroyed during milk pasteurization, but not all bacteria and their associated enzymes are eliminated by that process
“If this holds true for our own microbiomes, it suggests that microbes are always becoming more specialized for competing in their local environment in subtle ways,” says researcher
Bioelectrodes also have a big appetite for waste and are ready to be scaled up and used to clean up industrial sites while producing electricity as a byproduct
Very little is known about how marine microbes interact and carry out fundamental processes in the ocean, particularly in deep, low-oxygen waters where the impacts of climate change are becoming significant
