A new study has uncovered dynamics of virus-bacteria interactions in the microgravity environment of the International Space ...
In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is one of the most unique environments where life has ever existed, out in the low ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...
Viruses that infect bacteria can still do their job in microgravity, but space changes the rules of the fight.
Scientists built a model that allows them to diminish phage communities from a mouse gut microbiome -- and then bring them back -- without affecting the bacteria. On a test run of their model, ...
Marine viruses deploy a sophisticated Trojan horse maneuver that enables them to dismantle the energy systems of ocean bacteria and use the breakdown products for self-replication. This finding comes ...
