A laboratory analysis turned up nothing miraculous ... But a biochemical analysis revealed only “fungus and three different species of bacteria, all of which are commonly found on human hands ...

Inspired by sea sponges, researchers created living micro-lenses from bacteria that may improve medical and industrial ...

Knowing this will make it easier for scientists to design lab-made bacteria-driven microparticles that target cells for applications such as drug delivery. "If you're designing a microswimmer ...

To verify a defence system, scientists can select a candidate, insert the genes into a standard strain of laboratory bacteria and test whether they allow the microbes to resist phages that they ...

University of Toronto researchers have discovered nine new genes used by bacteria to protect themselves against phages—viruses that infect them. In a study published in Nature Microbiology, the ...

An alternative was to use an acid-tolerant strain of bacteria that would not require neutralization before breaking down the acid whey. UW wins green award, still needs to work towards sustainability ...

Applications range from precision medicine and resilient agriculture to biosensors for national security and biobased material production.

Tran said what the lab studies is crucial for reasons that often go overlooked. “It is important that people understand microbial ecology is not just bacteria, but bacteria and viruses that are all ...
