Reducing methane emissions from animal agriculture is no longer a hypothetical. At the 2025 State of the Science Summit: ...

What if the key to finding alien life isn’t in the stars—but in Earth’s strangest creatures? Scientists have developed a groundbreaking model that flips the script on how we search for ...

How Can the Same Diet Affect People Differently? The Microbiome and Methane May be Why Meet methanogens — gut microbes that turn fiber into methane and extra energy. But not everyone has them.

The study, published today in The ISME Journal, found that methane-producing microbes called methanogens are associated with a more efficient microbiome and higher energy absorption from food.

The team is interested in seeing how methanogens in the microbiome impact a diet that is intentionally aimed at helping participants lose weight.

A team of American scientists have created a new model that could help discover alien life out in the cosmos.

Through the molecular ecological networks, they found methanogens play a central role in species interactions as modular hubs, which enhances understanding of the microbial hierarchical web in coastal ...

Rice paddies, like cows, spew methane. A new variety makes them a lot less gassy. Rice plants are a big source of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas. Scientists just developed a strain ...

The roots of rice plants release carbohydrates and organic acids that microorganisms called methanogens devour, producing methane.

Methanogens can be found in all sorts of otherwise-inhospitable places on Earth, and something like them might be responsible for the seasonal variations in methane levels on Mars.
