Researchers engineered bacteria to produce spectral pigments in response to environmental triggers. Using hyperspectral ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

A comprehensive review explores how gut microbiota diversity and fitness influence Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk through ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

Explore the phenomenon of glowing ocean events known as milky seas, created by bioluminescent bacteria visible from space.

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 ...

The Tal-Gan lab group explores Streptococcal quorum sensing through a multifaceted lens. Quorum sensing (QS) is a cell-cell signaling mechanism that enables bacteria to assess their cell density in a ...

The researchers discovered that in V. parahaemolyticus, four of the nine new defense systems were turned on in response to ...

and so-called quorum-sensing molecules that are used by pathogenic bacteria to coordinate infection and disrupt host immune responses. "The structures of the human and bacterial FAAH enzyme are ...
