Infection-causing fungi responsible for millions of deaths a year will spread significantly to new regions as the planet ...

A study by ETH Zurich explores how bacteria can establish endosymbiotic relationships with fungi. Researchers injected E. coli and Mycetohabitans into the fungus Rhizopus microsporus, finding that ...

Escherichia coli bacteria, commonly called E. coli, can transfer at least one of these gene-containing plasmids to organisms across taxonomic kingdoms, including to fungi and protists.

These bacteria have a natural endosymbiotic relationship with some strains of this fungi, but the researchers used a strain that does not have that natural connection. After the bacteria entered the ...

turning her imagination to the six classifications of life forms that scientists call kingdoms: plants, animals, fungi, protists, bacteria and the mysterious archaea. In “Kingdoms of Life ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA shows that conglomerations of fungi and bacteria can work together to “walk” and “leap” across the surface ...

When classifying bacteria and fungi, morphological features are v­ery relevant. Colony morphology is a useful tool widely used to classify and define them by researchers. Carefully studied and used ...

Dr. Daniel Spalink, assistant professor and director of S.M. Tracy Herbarium at Texas A&M, helped analyze the biology and identify bacteria and fungi in the samples. "We all get allergies and ...

The team tested whether the fungi and bacteria could thrive at different points in time based on their individual traits or if another reason was behind the shifts in dominance in the soil.

New research is revealing that cancer is rife with bacteria and fungi — a rich ecosystem that scientists call the tumor microbiome. By Carl Zimmer Carl Zimmer is a science columnist. His belly ...
