In a world without plants or animals, microorganisms ruled Earth, and the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) marked a pivotal transformation. But how did life adapt when the once-toxic oxygen began to ...

Before forests, animals, or even breathable air, Earth was a completely different place. Over two billion years ago, the planet’s atmosphere held almost no oxygen. What we now call life had to survive ...

Earth was not always the blue-green world we know today: early Earth's oxygen levels were about a million times lower than we now experience. There were no forests and no animals. For ancient ...

Mangrove forests are highly productive coastal ecosystems in which microbial communities drive key biogeochemical processes, such as sulfur and carbon cycling. Lucinid clams and their bacterial ...
