The Role of Phosphorus Limitation in Shaping Soil Bacterial Communities and Their Metabolic Capabilities
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient that is often in limited supply, with P availability constraining biomass production in many terrestrial ecosystems. Despite decades of work on plant responses to P deficiency and the importance of soil...
Timeline of early eukaryotic evolution unveiled
By analyzing duplicates of thousands of genes, researchers have reconstructed the evolutionary events leading to the creation of eukaryotic cells, the precursors to virtually all life you can see with the naked eye. The evolutionary timeline from...
Inkjet printing-based fabrication of microscale 3D ice structures
Using inkjet printing technology, a method has been developed for fabricating 3-D ice microstructures, where the ice patterns possess geometries with a resolution of tens of micrometers. Recently, inkjet technology has gained attention for use in...

Deep abiotic weathering of pyrite
Pyrite, also called fool's gold, is an iron sulfide mineral that is very commonly found in rock but is almost nonexistent in sediments today. Pyrite oxidizes quickly and is a major source of sulfur to the ocean, but it is also a proxy for the oxygen...

Triple iron isotope constraints on the role of ocean iron sinks in early atmospheric oxygenation
What factors controlled the accumulation of atmospheric oxygen gas (O2) early in the history of Earth? Heard et al. used high-precision iron isotopic measurements of Archean-Paleoproterozoic sediments, with ages between 3.8 billion and 2.3 billion...

Single Cell Genomics Reveals Viruses Consumed by Marine Protists
The predominant model of the role of viruses in the marine trophic web is that of the “viral shunt,” where viral infection funnels a substantial fraction of the microbial primary and secondary production back to the pool of dissolved organic ...

Picturing Earth: Astronaut Photography In Focus
For 20 years, astronauts have been shooting photos of Earth from the space station. Like everything the astronauts do, they are trained for this job. And like everything they do, there is purpose and intention behind it.
Study discovers how some single-cell organisms control microbiomes
Large swaths of single-celled eukaryotes, non-bacterial single-cell organisms like microalgae, fungi or mold, can control microbiomes (a collection of tiny microbes, mostly bacteria) by secreting unusual small molecules around their cells,...
Sacha Baron Cohen: This Time He’s Serious
Reviving his Borat character and playing the political activist Abbie Hoffman, the actor feels he “had to ring the alarm bell and say that democracy is in peril this year.”

19-8. Geology, geochemistry and global context of deep-ocean marine minerals
Any true evaluation of global minerals must consider the marine realm. Marine minerals occur in every ocean basin, on both continental and oceanic crust; some are currently forming today, and some began forming 70 million years ago.
