Scientists investigated microbial movement as a potential biosignature for detecting life on Mars and beyond, offering a ...

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 ...

Researchers have succeeded in cultivating an ultra-small bacterial strain parasitizing archaea and classified it as new species and genus of Minisyncoccus archaeiphilus.

A new chemotaxis-based method could revolutionize the search for extraterrestrial life by detecting microbes movement on Mars ...

Researchers have long investigated what type of life exists beyond Earth and how we can find it. A new method focuses on looking for one of the most basic signs of living microbes – movement.

Chemotaxis, a process for chemically inducing movement in an organism, may be a crucial tool in the search for life on Mars.

The search for alien life could be boosted by a simple new test, say scientists. They believe the movement of microbes may ...

The search for alien life could be boosted by a simple new test, say scientists. They believe the movement of microbes may help detect life on Mars and beyond - in a "cheaper and faster" way than ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

Ruff and his team found that subsurface bacteria and archaea are flourishing, even at depths where the energy supply is orders of magnitude lower than enjoyed by organisms in habitats that see the ...
