A renewable natural gas plant operator at the Keystone Sanitary Landfill has the green light drill a nearly 3-mile-deep well ...

Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ultrasmall bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified the strain ...

It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...

Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus.

AIST researchers, in collaboration with JAMSTEC, Hokkaido University and Tohoku University, have succeeded in cultivating an ...

Rice plants are a big source of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas. Scientists just developed a strain that cuts ...

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

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

This complex microbial dance seems to have a really important role in our health. Oral diseases and even oral cancers have ...

Rovers sent to Mars have so far failed to detect life, likely because it doesn’t exist on the Red Planet. But we can’t say ...
