A new chemotaxis-based method could revolutionize the search for extraterrestrial life by detecting microbes movement on Mars ...
New research suggests Earth was once a purple planet. Early microbes used retinal, not chlorophyll, for photosynthesis.
It’s important to note that researchers are likely at least 10 to 30 years away from creating mirror bacteria. On the timescale of a fast-moving field like synthetic biology, a decade is a very long ...
Most major biological molecules, including all proteins, DNA and RNA, point in one direction or another. In other words, they ...
Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...
Maintaining a healthy gut is crucial for digestion, energy levels, and overall well-being, yet many people struggle with ...
In new research published this week, a team led by Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) scientists reveals that symbiotic bacteria often accompany single-celled protists in the ocean’s upper layer. Some ...
Microbial genetics is the study of the mechanisms of heritable information in microorganisms, including bacteria, archaea ... via different mechanisms, and find that each mechanism is ...
Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus.
