An international collaboration between four scientists from Mainz, Valencia, Madrid, and Zurich has published new research in ...

Researchers say they discovered evidence that early Earth was home to more hydrogen than previously thought, calling into ...

In a new Nature Physics study, researchers have provided evidence of universal conformal invariance in living biological ...

There are roughly a trillion species of microorganisms on Earth—the vast majority of which are bacteria. Bacteria consist of ...

By using the planet-wide geological event of the Great Oxidation Event effectively as a "fossil" calibration point, our approach produced a detailed timeline of bacterial evolution. Combining ...

However, the bacteria themselves are vulnerable to infection by a type of virus called bacteriophages, or just phages. Throughout evolution, bacteria and phages have undergone an arms race in ...

But a new study, published today in the journal Science, maps out the evolution of bacteria for the first time by piecing together the chemical clues of available nutrients that could support their ...

Antibiotic resistance is a global health challenge that could overtake cancer mortality within a few decades. In a new study, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, show that the emergence of ...
