Researchers have launched a database highlighting microbes that support human health and ecosystem resilience.

Bacterial patterns invisible to the eye reveal hidden information only with correct biochemical triggers, creating ...

I am an environmental microbiologist who studies microbial communities in diverse ecosystems. Microbes (Bacteria and Archaea) are ubiquitous in the environment and play essential roles in the cycling ...

With the antibacterial system in place, researchers created precise bacterial patterns. They spread nanoparticle-coated bacteria on mixed cellulose ester membranes and exposed them to light through a ...

Using photosynthetically active microorganisms, researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have succeeded in manufacturing several biocatalysts suitable for industrial application: a crucial ...

Soil consists of three basic parts including plant debris, microorganisms within the soil that decompose organic matter, as well as stable organic matter that is also referred to as humus. The ...

Background: Research team led by Christof Hauck, professor of cell biology at the University of Konstanz, and Thomas Böttcher, professor of microbial biochemistry at the University of Vienna, discover ...

The underlying causes of Parkinson's disease, a debilitating neurodegenerative condition, are not well understood. While genetic mutations are known to cause Parkinson's, a staggering 90% of cases are ...

Type 2 diabetes has long been framed as a story of calories, weight and willpower, but a growing body of research is shifting ...
