Scientists discovered that nitrous oxide can suppress certain soil microbes, potentially reshaping root microbiomes that help crops grow.

Non-CHO cell expression systems gain traction as faster, more flexible alternatives for biologics manufacturing.

Biochemists at Caltech have identified how viruses have converged on a method for killing bacteria. The researchers have homed in on an underexplored small transporter called MurJ that is a vital part ...

We often hear about bacteria, but what exactly are they? A bacterium is a living organism that consists of a single cell (unicellular). It has ...

Scientists have found a way to use common bacteria as tiny, green chemical factories to replace a process that currently relies on fossil fuels. In industrial hydrogenation, the hydrogen added to ...

Cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation have saved many lives, but they also have limits and side ...

Drug-resistant bacteria are becoming harder to treat, pushing scientists to look for new antibiotic targets. Researchers have now discovered that several unrelated viruses disable a key bacterial ...

Researchers found three bacteriophages disable MurJ, a key cell wall transporter, by locking it outward-facing. This blocks ...

The core of a solid, cancerous tumor is comprised of dead cells and is oxygen-free, making it an ideal breeding ground for ...

A Dartmouth College research team has reported that plasmids can force bacteria to form dense clusters in order to tolerate antibiotics which suggests a source of treatment failure that does not ...

Bacteria are usually seen as boring. Tiny blobs. Always blamed for infections. Not exactly the stars of science. But here comes the surprise: bacteria are secretly chatting with each other. Not with ...
