Scientists have studied a new target for antibiotics in the greatest detail yet—in the fight against antibiotic resistance.

Can Bacteria Serve as “Microscopic Miners” of the Metals We Need? A company backed by mining giants had a sustainable breakthrough, but now funding cuts jeopardize it. Alexander C. Kaufman Bio ...

Microbial colonization on concrete After construction, concrete is usually immune to biological attack because of its high alkalinity. Little microbial activity occurs at such a high pH (Sand, 1987).

BUFFALO, N.Y. — 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 ...

Maintaining the redox and metal homeostasis is an important aspect of bacterial survival. During infections pathogens encounter human neutrophils and macrophages capable of generating reactive species ...

Life Motor made from bacteria parts is one of the smallest ever built The natural motors that power tail-like appendages in bacteria seem to have a single evolutionary origin, allowing parts from ...

Ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a structurally diverse group of natural products that bacteria employ in their survival strategies. Herein, we ...

A rare strain of bacteria found in recalled eyedrops has been linked to dozens of infections, as well as cases of vision loss, surgical removal of eyeballs and one death.

Jerusalem Post Health & Wellness Red algae-derived metal-polysaccharide can be anti-microbial - study Ben-Gurion University scientists have connected a metal and a polysaccharide and discovered ...

Microbial fuel cells are a promising new way to generate electricity, but so far they’re plagued by inefficiency. Researchers at UCLA have now found a way to wring more energy out of them, by ...
