Chinese scientists have discovered a new microbe. A new strain of bacteria, niallia tiangongensis, was found on Tiangong. The microbe shows remarkable adaptation to extreme space environments.

Mariangela Hungria, a microbiologist in Brazil, spent decades looking for bacteria in the soil that could act like fertilizer, boosting farmers' harvests. But she faced a lot of skepticism.

For decades, bacterial vaginosis has been treated as a women’s health issue—but new research suggests treating male partners could dramatically cut recurrence rates. A scanning electron ...

The marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis feeds on oil, multiplying rapidly in the wake of oil spills, and thereby accelerating the elimination of the pollution, in many cases. It does this by ...

Not all cell walls are created equal. Take the peculiar makeup of the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium’s cell wall. It might play a role in lingering symptoms of Lyme disease — the most common ...

Bacteria like A. borkumensis are important for degrading oil pollution, thus these findings are of significant interest, possibly leading to the development of new, more effective strains.

Researchers have uncovered how the marine bacterium Alcanivorax borkumensis produces a natural surfactant to break down oil, a discovery that could lead to more effective strains for cleaning up ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods ...

Researchers led by Professor Erik van Nimwegen at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, have discovered a new mechanism in bacteria that controls their response to prevailing environmental conditions.

A newly discovered bacterium wiggling about in the mudflats of the Oregon coast could advance a new era of bioelectric devices. The purpose of this is a division of metabolic labor between individual ...
