ADHD is not just about fidgety kids and zoning out during meetings — this neurodivergence is a full-on rollercoaster ride for ...

A biochemical reaction is the transformation of one molecule to a different molecule inside a cell. Biochemical reactions are mediated by enzymes, which are biological catalysts that can alter the ...

Scientists investigated microbial movement as a potential biosignature for detecting life on Mars and beyond, offering a faster and more cost-effective approach than ever before. Finding life in outer ...

To solve that problem, a team of German researchers at the Technical University in Berlin figured that, instead of having a robot looking for microbes, it would be easier and cheaper to make the ...

Solid-state NMR analysis of Bacillus subtilis biofilms reveals critical phases of maturation and dispersal, impacting medical ...

A new chemotaxis-based method could revolutionize the search for extraterrestrial life by detecting microbes movement on Mars ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

What's more, B. subtilis climbed to 400 percent more bacteria during tests that doubled the concentration of L-serine molecules. "We tried, also, other substances, like glucose and ribose," Riekeles ...

Chemotaxis, a process for chemically inducing movement in an organism, may be a crucial tool in the search for life on Mars.

The species included in the study were chosen due to their ability to survive in "extreme" environments. The highly motile Bacillus subtilis, in its spore form, can survive extreme conditions and ...

“One of the goals [of astrobiology] is to go to [other worlds] and look for microorganisms, but in the meantime there’s so much we can do on Earth that will give us massive insights,” Nadeau says. And ...
