The research led to the identification of two synthetic retinoids, both of which demonstrated the ability to kill MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics.
A new biochemical leaching process to recover valuable rare earth metals from discarded electronics has been developed the US researchers. And the key ingredient is somewhat unusual: corn.
The bacteria i. sakaiensis has proven to be more efficient than a fungus that is contributing to the natural biodegradation of PET.
Antibiotics could become nearly useless by mid-century against intense infections due to bacteria evolving antibiotic resistance. It's time to develop alternatives to antibiotics for small infections.
The Genes in Space-3 team turned a possibility into reality in 2017, when it completed the first-ever sample-to-sequence process entirely aboard the space station.
University of Louisville neurology professor Robert P. Friedland have proposed a new term "mapranosis" to describe an interaction between gut microbiota and the brain.
Researchers have developed a biocompatible ink for 3-D printing using living bacteria.
The Living Light is an off-grid light that’s powered by a houseplant instead of an electrical socket.
A new study outlines the “crazy idea” that led to a project described by one scientist as the “Google database for microbes.”
Human travel and shipping is transporting trillions of bacteria around the globe with unexpected effects.
The bacteria in our gut, researchers found, produce one of the same signaling molecules that humans do, which can then interact with receptors in the body to mediate health.
A great deal of mystery DNA has been found in the human gut.
A new research reveals that a lake beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet contains large amounts of methane and describes how methane-eating microbes may keep the climate-warming gas from entering the atmosphere.
The new discovery shows promise in helping to treat the millions infected each year with antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
A new experiment shows that long-term exposure to microgravity affects bacteria at the genetic level.
