The future of climate tech could come not from a lab but from a lake. That's because scientists are exploring using methane-eating bacteria to fight the constant methane emissions found at landfills.

Methane-oxidizing bacteria could play a greater role than previously thought in preventing the release of climate-damaging methane from lakes, researchers from Bremen report. They also show who is ...

Vibrio vulnificus, a so-called flesh-eating bacteria, is being found in new areas and it all could be due to climate change. It was found in recent years in the Delaware Bay and could be because the ...

More and more cases of fatal vibriosis are making headlines around the world. Vibrio bacteria, found in fresh and salt waters around the world, are thought to be increasingly common under climate ...
