Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Toronto have developed a new k-mer sketching metagenomic ...

Researchers have now found the bacteria's secret weapon and have ideas on how to use it for good. In an attempt to figure out a way to fight the germs, researchers at Monash University realized ...

it would be to use microbial fermentation to turn trees and other plants into industrial chemicals. The findings put us a step closer to making industrial chemicals from trees as an economically ...

difficile bacteria, better known as C. diff, in new research this week. The vaccine is based on the same mRNA technology used to create some of the first widely available covid-19 vaccines.

This means you can use bacteria to determine whether someone has just been to the beach, got off the train in the city center or taken a walk in the woods. This opens up new possibilities within ...

The findings are published in Nature Microbiology in an article titled, “Systematic Discovery of Antibacterial and Antifungal Bacterial Toxins,” and revealed how some bacteria use these toxins ...

They've identified the specific molecular property of lignin—its methoxy content—that determines just how hard, or easy, it would be to use microbial fermentation to turn trees and other ...

Using bacteria to take a bite out of plastic pollution is not new. But can the same microbes be used as a food source? Any notion of an independent Mars means the perchlorate problem must be ...

Researchers are taking several approaches to this challenge As Live Science’s Emily Cooke reports, the same kind of electrical pulses were also used to reduce the amount of bacteria on a ...
