Benign bacteria block mosquitoes from transmitting Zika, chikungunya viruses
2016-07-01 20:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have confirmed that a benign bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis can completely block transmission of Zika virus in Aedes aegypti, the mosquito species responsible for passing the virus to humans. Matthew Aliota, a scientist at the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) and first author of the paper -- published today (July 1, 2016) in the journal Scientific Reports -- says the bacteria could present a "novel biological control mechanism,"...

Increase in bacteria threatens fish in the Baltic

WorldFishing: Increase in bacteria threatens fish in the Baltic An increase in bacteria in the northern Baltic is leading to a reduction in fish numbers. Photo: Kristina Viklund, UMF An increase in bacteria as a result of climate change is reducing the number of fish, according to environmental experts. In the northern parts of the Baltic Sea both precipitation and river discharge are expected to increase as more carbon is dissolved in sea water. The increased river discharge will lead to a higher inflow...

Study unlocks surprising behaviour of soil bacteria
2016-06-17 13:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: Newly sequenced genomes of soil bacteria have raised questions about how differing land management affects the organisms' behaviour. UK scientists found one strain locked nitrogen in the soil, while another released a potent greenhouse gas. The findings came to light after the researchers sequenced Bradyrhizobium, one of the most active and abundant groups of soil bacteria. The findings were published recently in the journal Scientific Reports. The team from the University of Reading...
