Research highlights the potential significance of ectomycorrhizal fungi diversity in promoting forest ecosystem health and strengthening the symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizae and host plants.
A team of scientists led an experimental study to determine the relationships between subpopulations of cells within the biofilm of a model microbe, revealing new insights regarding their potential.
Researchers from the University of Toronto and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) recently published research demonstrating that pyrite—the most abundant sulfide mineral in the Earth’s crust—is enriched in several trace elements. This is important for understanding past ocean chemistry from analyses of sedimentary pyrite. Knowledge from this research will help scientists use pyrite trace metal concentrations to analyze and quantify early ocean chemistry and, as a result, the ocean’s evolution through time.
Researchers from the University of Arizona and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a Department of Energy user facility, discovered that that plants can maintain specific microbe partnerships during times of drought, revealing a new level of resilience.
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) is accepting applications from undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers for the 2024 EMSL Summer School focused on fungal research. EMSL is providing transportation and hotel accommodations for up to 25 students who are selected through the application process.
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory is hosting a free webinar at noon PST on Feb. 7 to detail available metabolomics technologies that the scientific community can access for studying biological systems.
A multi-institutional team of researchers studied how solar radiation from the sun interacts with individual tar balls. This research, featured on the cover of ACS Publications' Environmental Science & Technology, provides insights into how wildfires influence climate change.
As global temperatures continue to rise, glaciers are melting, and soils with communities of microorganisms are now exposed. Researchers are studying the microorganisms in these soils to determine how they influence carbon flux and climate change.
Live cell imaging is a foundational part of biological research. A variety of methods of time-lapse, 3-D microscopy platforms allow researchers to visualize and follow the dynamic processes of single cells, whole cell populations, and subcellular activity.
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory a Department of Energy user facility, will hold a free webinar on Jan. 24 to showcase available imaging platforms for live cell microscopy.
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory, a Department of Energy user facility at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, is accepting research proposals for four open calls.
A team of researchers documented complete genomes, transcriptomes, and proteomes, and several iron-uptake strategies for two species of Dunaliella algae that need little iron to survive.
Researchers developed a genomics-based computational pipeline to understand how specific strains of bacteria behave within bacterial communities associated with plants.
A team of scientists studied carbon allocation in soils at an artificial tropical rainforest. Their results demonstrated the impact of drought on microbial activity, particularly on how the types of carbon in soil can change, leading to a loss of carbon to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and volatile organic compounds.
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory awarded funding to 17 researchers around the world to conduct biological and environmental research using the user facility's instrumentation and resources.
The Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) developed a group of platforms called TerraForms to provide users with an avenue for investigating hydrobiogeochemical processes.
Research teams from 11 projects will use resources at the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) and the Joint Genome Institute (JGI). Several of the projects also were awarded access to the Bio-SANS beamline through the Center for Structural Molecular Biology (CSMB) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory.
The Department of Energy's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory has awarded research funding to 32 projects in environmental and biological science.
Whole orchard recycling is an alternative process for disposing of trees at the end of their productive lives. Researchers are studying how this process may also help improve nitrogen in soils. Hear a microbiologist explain whole orchard recycling on the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory's Bonding Over Science podcast.
The EMSL User Meeting: Visualizing Chemical Processes Across the Environment is planned for Oct. 3-5 at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Newly published research emphasizes the importance of understanding how to improve protection of the global soil organic matter balance.
EMSL user Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede discusses how artificial intelligence is helping her understand the process of protein folding within cells.
