In a step forward for genetic engineering and synthetic biology, researchers have modified a strain of Escherichia coli bacteria to be immune to natural viral infections while also minimizing the ...

The microbes in our guts may prove more useful than we think. Scientists at Texas A&M University are investigating how bacteria may serve as sensors for environmental chemicals, as means to deliver ...

In a new study published today in Science Advances, researchers present a 3D-printable ink that contains bacteria and they say that depending on what species of bacteria it holds, the ink stands to ...

Soil inoculants for beans and corn can provide positive improvements for the health of your row crops. You can determine which corn and soybean inoculant is best suited to your needs by learning more ...

Bacteria have been found living in some pretty hostile environments, but they're not invincible. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have now developed "spacesuits" that wrap around ...

Norwegian researchers used thin layers of microbes in a reactor to convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen into pipeline grade methane.

NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A new study reveals a mechanism by which the immune system may decide whether a bacterial species is a partner in bodily processes or an invader ...

Say what you will about magnetotactic bacteria, they’re never disoriented. They contain their own compass needles, which are built of linked magnetosomes, nanosized magnetic particles. These ...

Everyone has a pet theory to explain the rise of modern scourges, things that our forbears rarely had to contend with during their short, brutish lives: obesity, diabetes, celiac disease, autism, ...

Friendly monkeys have higher levels of helpful bacteria and lower levels of potentially disease-causing microbes in their guts, research suggests. Scientists from the University of Oxford have found ...
