Bacterial specific growth rates (0.2 h-1 to 1.8 h-1) were some of the highest measured for natural aquatic ecosystems, which is consistent with high respiration rates. Bacteria consumed 10 times more ...

Some bacteria and fungi such as yeast complete their own version of anaerobic respiration called fermentation. This is the equation: glucose → ethanol + carbon dioxide Yeast undergoes ...

How did the discovery of electric bacteria by Nealson and other researchers in the 1980s change how scientists understood cellular respiration? Before the late 1980s, people knew that there were ...

In December, phosphorus (P) addition enhanced bacterial growth 6-9-fold with concomitant increase in viral production (4-15-fold), but little enhancement of bacterial respiration (BR). In other months ...

We discovered a new mechanism where disruption of bacterial respiration leads to increased production of a reactive oxygen species, superoxide, which in turn causes cell death," says Wenzel.

Bacterial hair-like extensions appear to be capable of conducting electricity down their length, possibly playing a key role in respiration by allowing the cells to dump electrons at distances far ...
