Bacteria can sneakily evade our best efforts at eradication by developing resistance to various pressures in their ...

These bacteria don’t eat food or breathe air like we do. All they need is to complete a circuit; that’s enough for them to ...

Some bacteria are able to tap into unusual sources of nutrients in the surface water of the oceans. This enables them to increase their primary production and extract more carbon dioxide from the ...

The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...

Decomposition is essential to all ecosystems, both on land and in the ocean. In marine environments, decomposition and ...

Rocketry, aviation, and shipping are powered by energy-dense fossil fuels that are hard to replace. Researchers headed by a team at the Lawrence Berkeley Lab and the Technical University Denmark now ...

Aircrafts transport people, ship goods, and perform military operations, but the petroleum-based fuels that power them are in short supply. Researchers have found a way to generate an alternative jet ...

In a groundbreaking scientific development, a strain of bacteria that can produce pure gold has been discovered. This finding opens up new and exciting possibilities for gold extraction techniques ...

Bacteria need to constantly adapt to compete against other species for nutrient sources and to survive against threats such as antibiotics and toxins. In an effort to understand how bacteria control ...
