Viruses amplify ocean’s carbon capture capacity

Scientists are zeroing in on the virus species in the world’s oceans that are most likely to combat climate change by helping trap carbon dioxide in seawater. Armed with a catalog of hundreds of thousands of DNA and RNA virus species in the world’s oceans, scientists are now zeroing in on the viruses most likely

Diverting maize for ethanol will increase poultry feed prices

The poultry industry anticipates that 10-20 percent of maize could be used for ethanol production, which would increase the demand-supply gap further, causing a spike in maize prices. The Indian poultry sector expects feed prices to spurt, crimping its margins, if the Centre goes ahead with its plan to divert maize for ethanol production, as
