To date, several studies have established a connection between the brain and the gut microbiota. Now, research in mice from scientists at Duke University School of Medicine and their collaborators ...

Alex Pipinos is the lead author of a new study that suggests microbes could increase protein in staple crops. Pipinos is a University of Delaware Class of 2025 graduate with a master’s in microbiology ...

To address population growth and agricultural resource constraints, scientists developed an electrolytic gas-lift reactor for efficient hydrogen-oxidizing bacterial single-cell protein (HOB-SCP) ...

A team led by researchers at the Max Delbrück Center has uncovered the main activation mechanism of GBP1, a protein that plays a pivotal role in combating certain bacteria. Their study demonstrates ...

Scientists have successfully replaced half of the fishmeal protein in the diets of farmed Asian seabass with a 'single cell protein' cultivated from microbes in soybean processing wastewater, paving ...

Your gut may be talking to your brain in ways we never imagined. Scientists have discovered a “neurobiotic sense” — a rapid-response system where colon cells detect microbial proteins and instantly ...

The microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body-plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...

A new crop of biotech startups are working on an alternative to alternative protein. Dried cells—it’s what’s for dinner. At least that’s what a new crop of biotech startups, armed with carbon-guzzling ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.
