The acceptable limit for faecal coliform in bathing water, as per CPCB guidelines, is 2,500 units per 100 ml. However, recent ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing ...

Considerably more work will be needed before these bacteria can be used in people. Creative approaches tend to draw attention from researchers and the public alike, but the field still needs to ...

From the smallest of tips used to draw solutions to pipettes ... Some of them work on bacteria that can chew up plastics; others work directly with enzymes that can clean up the waste.

But what about a virus that doesn’t make people sick — just the bacteria that infects people, effectively destroying it? That’s what bacteriophages — or, simply, phages — are ...

Dozens of drawings Michelangelo made while planning the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel will go on view at the Muscarelle Museum of Art after a monumental feat in networking and logistics by the ...

While, in practice, it is not trivial (or yet possible) to specify the interactions leading to intelligence, a promising start would be to catalog all of the interacting components (molecules, ...

For the isolation of crude oil degrading bacteria, 1 g of soil sample was inoculated into 100 mL of mineral salt medium (MSM pH 6.8 ± 0.2) supplemented with 1% crude oil 9 and incubated at room ...

while others found lower amounts of the same bacteria. These mixed results made it difficult to draw clear conclusions. More importantly, the study found that OSCC does more than just change the ...

A Japanese study led by Hiroshi Ohno links specific gut bacteria present in newborns to food sensitivities and allergies. Published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the research ...

Handwritten by Dutch biologist and microscopist Johannes Swammerdam, the manuscript contains a detailed description and drawing of a honeybee drone’s brain. The illustration, based on his own ...

In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...
