Bacteria are nearly ubiquitous and have tremendous impacts on human and ecological health. And yet, they remain largely mysterious to us. Princeton MOL faculty Zemer Gitai, Britt Adamson and Ned ...

New research shows that 'hacking' the communication channels between microbes in the mouth could boost levels of beneficial ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Plants form alliances with microbes in the soil in which they grow. Legumes, for example, benefit from a symbiotic relationship with microbes that inhabit nodules in their roots ...

Scientists from the Quadram Institute and UK Health Security Agency have discovered that bacterial populations remain stable on factory floor despite cleaning efforts in ready-to-eat food production ...

Drugs that act against bacteria are mainly assessed based on how well they inhibit bacterial growth under laboratory ...

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are a growing problem when it comes to combatting infections. Bacteria that have an additional protective layer to their cell walls — a type known as “Gram-negative” in ...

An international team of researchers have found a new way to interpret the evolution of bacteria. The findings, published in the journal Science today, demonstrate how integrating vertical descent and ...

The recent unearthing of bacteria capable of surviving in nuclear waste is a groundbreaking development with the potential to transform radioactive waste management. The existence of these ...

Scientists have found that competition between strains of beneficial bacteria in the soil degrades the service that the bacteria provide to their hosts. Plants form alliances with microbes in the soil ...
