An international research team has demonstrated that solar-powered synthesis gas could repurpose carbon dioxide into fuels and beneficial chemicals.
Coral is considered a complex holobiont, harboring a range of life forms at various scales. This includes zooxanthellae, coral cells, and linked bacteria, viruses, and archaea.
Soils are impacted globally by several anthropogenic factors, including chemical pollutants.
