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.

People whose gut microbiomes produce a lot of methane are especially good at unlocking extra energy from a high-fiber diet. This may help explain why different individuals obtain different amounts of ...

Some farming groups are opposed, but the PM's chief science adviser says farmers need to see the products work.

In the jungle of microbes living in your gut, there's one oddball that makes methane. This little-known methane-maker might play a role in how many calories you absorb from your food, according to ...

The team is interested to see 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.

Methane-producing archaea, so-called methanogens, are a particularly exciting research area: They produce methane from simple substrates such as hydrogen and CO₂ and thus significantly ...

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 ...
