Ocean Microbes And Climate Change: How Marine Bacteria Are Spurring Global Warming
2015-05-19 15:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Business Times: They may be tiny, but they pack a strong punch. Scientists are finding that the smallest ocean organisms can have a major impact on one of the biggest issues of the 21st century climate change. New research has unpacked the role of phytoplankton and ocean bacteria in the formation of sea spray aerosol, the tiny particles that enter the atmosphere and help create the drops of moisture that form clouds, which control earths temperature. It shows that such microbes could actually moderate the chemistry...

Bacteria the newest tool in detecting environmental damage
2015-05-12 12:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] KNOXVILLE—The reaction most people have when they hear the word bacteria is rarely a good one. While it's true that food- and water-borne bacteria cause untold illnesses and even death around the world, a team of researchers from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory has found a way to use bacteria to help prevent some of the very symptoms most people associate with them. Terry Hazen, the Governor's Chair for Environment…

Turning to Bacteria to Fight the Effects of Climate Change
2015-04-30 23:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Scientific American: Recently the United Nations warned that the world could suffer a 40 percent shortfall in water by 2030 unless countries dramatically cut consumption. Since 70 percent of the worlds fresh water goes to agriculture, this means changing the way people farm. The need is ubiquitous. In Californias Central Valley, farmers drilling for water are now tapping stores 30,000 years old. In Kenya, which is facing the worst drought since 2000, farmers are hand-digging wells to reach the receding water table,...

Research Seeks Alternatives For Reducing Bacteria In Fresh Produce Using Nanoengineering
2015-04-30 06:59:44| foodingredientsonline Home Page
Nearly half of foodborne illnesses in the U.S. from 1998 through 2008 have been attributed to contaminated fresh produce. Prevention and control of bacterial contamination on fresh produce is critical to ensure food safety.
