Discover how antibiotic resistance is transforming routine infections into deadly threats. Learn the shocking truth about 10 ...

Scientists create a biohybrid by combining E. coli with a metal-organic framework, enabling charge storage through microbial ...

10.1111/j.1365-2958.2004.04160.x Many photosynthetic microorganisms have evolved the ability to sense light quality and/or quantity and can steer themselves into optimal conditions within the ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria from proliferating. The study is published in the journal Microbiome.

Transduction efficiency (i.e., how much of the genetic material from the packaged lentivirus is transferred and incorporated into the cell) can vary widely. Microfluidics-driven solution.

Joshua Lederberg’s discovery that bacteria could exchange genetic information through conjugation and transduction radically altered biology ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

The behavior of bio-sensor receivers is studied for molecular communication (MC). Bacteria can be engineered as a bio-sensor receiver to produce an output signal, e.g., produce green fluorescent ...

Scientists have used bacteriophage transduction for many years to study and manipulate bacteria. For example, it has played a role in bacteriophage therapy to combat infectious disease, 5, 6 many ...

The bacteria-first theory, also known as the reductive hypothesis, picked up support in 2003 when French researchers discovered a giant virus in the sludge of a water tower in Bradford, England.

A bacteria commonly found in wastewater can break down plastic to turn it into a food source, a new study finds. Scientists hope it is a pollution solution. October 3, 2024 ...
