When carrying out cell culture in the lab, contamination from microbial agents such as bacteria ... In contrast hyphae-based molds often look white, green, or black, but can be other colors ...

A unique sugar recognized by white blood cells stimulates robust engulfment and killing of fungi, and might be useful to fight microbial infections that are resistant to current treatments.

Scientists at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have discovered how a molecular receptor on the surface of white blood cells ... have theorized how immune cells recognize microbial debris sloughed ...

In response to these environmental challenges, microbial cell factories are gaining attention as eco-friendly platforms for producing chemicals using renewable resources, while metabolic ...

As climate change and environmental concerns intensify, sustainable microbial cell factories garner significant attention as candidates to replace chemical plants. To develop microorganisms to be ...

This article explores the mechanisms underlying major examples of microbial cell-to-cell heterogeneity that do not have a genotypic basis, that is, which do not arise from mutation or genome ...

In some cases, it can also be reused onsite after it’s cleaned. Inside the shipping container, hundreds of microbial fuel cells, each roughly the size of a car battery, use natural, locally ...

Although the Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell currently only generates 0.4 W per square meter of plant growth, the researchers claim this is more than is generated by fermenting biomass. They also say ...

As we’ve seen previously, scientists are now looking to harness bacteria to produce electricity through microbial fuel cells. These microbial fuel cells (MFCs) convert chemical energy to ...
