By mimicking nature, scientists make a breakthrough in breaking down wood.

The popular approach of organizing soil bacteria into fast- or slow-growing groups is problematic because most bacteria grow at comparable rates in soil.

Metabolomics analysis revealed differences in metabolome profiles for two distinct modes of fungal wood decay.

The ChemSpace Tool, when fully developed, is intended to divide chemical space into three subsets: the detectable space, the identifiable space, and the region that includes compounds that are not detectable or identifiable.
