Marine bacteria control how much CO2 is stored in the oceans, by swimming after and degrading sinking particles that would otherwise remain stored in the ocean for millennia. Researchers have ...

For example, the biochemical route that is used for carbon dioxide fixation was revealed to be the acetyl-CoA pathway, as predicted by stable carbon isotopic fractionation of anammox bacteria 19.

It was the German bacteriologist who discovered the bacteria that causes anthrax, septicaemia, tuberculosis and cholera, and his methods enabled others to identify many more important pathogens.

Microbes can evolve antimicrobial resistance when, for example, populations are subjected to selective pressure through drug use in medicine. Bacteria can undergo adaptive evolution during severe ...

Living emulsions, which incorporate active bacteria into oil–water multiphase systems, represent an innovative integration of microbiology and colloid science. The active role of living species offers ...
