A groundbreaking antibiotic discovery might finally tip the balance in the global fight against drug-resistant bacteria.

Unfortunately, Vibrio natriegens doesn't have the sophisticated molecular tools that are available in a commonly used lab ...

A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique morphology and genetic structure may be useful for the development of ...

When the plastic is in a zero-oxygen environment, like a landfill, the enzyme activates and attracts anaerobic bacteria that break down its polymers. As they eat the material, they generate biogas ...

These enzymes are found in the intestines of mammals, such as in the human gut bacteria Bifidobacterium, which helps digest complex carbohydrates. Recent studies have shown that another gut ...
