Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

B. subtilis spores are stable across a wide temperature range, which reduces the cost of storage and transportation.

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and ...
