Unexpectedly, the scientists found a unique microbial population that can metabolize sulfur and atmospheric gases, resembling the microorganisms detected in deep-sea hydrothermal vents or geothermal…
Illustration of Fsr’s catalytic site where sulfite gets reduced to sulfide. The siroheme (in pink) that binds and converts the sulfite is embedded in a…
The tree of life is a metaphor used to describe the evolutionary relationships between all living organisms. It is represented as a branching diagram, with…
The researchers suggested sound dampening or enclosing the pressure port in a protective structure as ways to prevent musical attacks on biosafety facilities. Both measures…
Scientists discovered a potential candidate for antibiotic drug development in a soil bacterium known as Lentzea flaviverrucosa. As drug-resistant and emerging infections become an increasingly…
Illustration of the human gut microbiome. Microbes that safely break down antibiotics could prevent opportunistic infections and reduce the spread of antibiotic resistance. Antibiotics are…
Clarkson University Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Ali Boolani is performing research to determine if gut microbiome and metabolomic pathways in the gut could be…
Researchers from Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo find that the occurrence of red snow is closely tied to the length of the…
Researchers have used silk derived from ordinary silkworm cocoons, like those seen here, mixed with bacteria and nutrients, to make a coating for seeds that…
