We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

The Effects of Perchlorates on the Permafrost Methanogens: Implication for Autotrophic Life on Mars
The terrestrial permafrost represents a range of possible cryogenic extraterrestrial ecosystems on Earth-like planets without obvious surface ice, such as Mars.

Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed affects coprophagous beetles' dung use
Supplementing beef cattle diets with brown seaweed reduced the attractiveness of dung for a common dung beetle (Onthophagus nuchicornis). Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed appeared to reduce the proportion of major males in the F1 generation.

Methanogens, Methane and Gastrointestinal Motility
Anaerobic fermentation of the undigested polysaccharide fraction of carbohydrates produces hydrogen in the intestine which is the substrate for methane production by intestinal methanogens. Hydrogen and methane are excreted in the flatus and in breath giving the opportunity to indirectly measure their production using breath testing.

Methane (CH4) has attracted attention as not only one of the hydrogen carriers in terms of energy density, but also synthetic natural gas. In nature, the decomposition of organic compounds is performed with bacterial ecosystems that can produce CH4 ...

Delivering Sulfate to LNAPL Body for Enhanced Source Zone Depletion (ESZD)
Abstract This field pilot study evaluates the feasibility of applying sulfate to a light non‐aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) body for achieving enhanced source zone depletion (ESZD) at a refinery site. Two rounds of gypsum land application (GLA) delivered sulfate to an 8000 ft2 area encompassing LNAPL‐containing monitoring wells MW‐2 and MW‐3, while MW‐1 ...

Environmental drivers of gaseous carbon fluxes in drained and rewetted Minnesota peatlands, U. S. A.
Abstract Introduction Rewetting shows promise for mitigating carbon loss from drained peatlands. However, knowledge gaps remain in rewetting impacts on gaseous carbon fluxes and factors affecting rewetting success, especially in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, United States, despite abundant degraded peatlands presenting restoration opportunities ...

Abstract Estimates of ebullitive methane (CH4) emissions from reservoirs are highly uncertain, often based on spatial and temporal upscaling from a limited number of sampling sites and periods. While some of these estimates may adjust for seasonal variation in temperature, they rarely account for drawdown and the resulting changes in site depth and the
