Like people, bacteria get invaded by viruses. In bacteria, the viral invaders are called bacteriophages, derived from the ...

Scientists in South Korea have engineered tiny bacterial cells that are churning out plastic. The plastics produced by the ...

Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest ...

Now, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have shed new light on how bacteria protect themselves from certain phage ...

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 genetically engineered microbes to produce a strong, flexible plastic similar to nylon for the first time.

Overuse of antibiotics is currently the primary reason for the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and Kiel University, however, have shown ...

Sulfate-reducing bacteria break down a large proportion of the organic carbon in the oxygen-free zones of Earth, and in the ...
