New research demonstrates how specially engineered bacteria taken orally can operate as a delivery system for vaccines and antiviral therapies.

The bio-battery developed in China uses electroactive bacteria encapsulated in an alginate-based hydrogel to generate ...

A team led by Rice University bioscientist Caroline Ajo-Franklin identified how these bacteria expel electrons externally. The new study offers a glimpse into a previously hidden ...

These simulations showed that bacteria could still survive and generate electricity by using the surrounding surface to “breathe.” Lab experiments confirmed it: the bacteria grew on conductive ...

Scientists at the McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard have reengineered a compact RNA-guided enzyme ...

A new study by Danish researchers has demonstrated that it is possible to develop a consortium of bacteria that can inhibit ...

Scientists found that acetate plus Bacteroides bacteria in the gut cuts fat and liver mass by boosting sugar removal and fat ...

Mary Gilmore, Staff Writer Years ago, scientists discovered a brand-new species of bacteria that appeared to breathe by ...

Surfaces can act as a reservoir of bacteria especially in medical settings, from hospital beds and toilet seats. As well as frequently touched surfaces in public spaces such as aeroplanes across ...
