A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

In a study of early embryonic development in primates, an international research team under the leadership of Berthold ...

Kei Sato was looking for his next big challenge five years ago when it smacked him — and the world — in the face. The ...

Prof. Colin Parrish, the John Olin Professor of Virology at the Baker Institute for Animal Health, has been elected to the American Academy of Microbiology. This prestigious nomination puts him among ...

"This challenges the notion that microplastics are merely passive carriers of resistant bacteria and highlights their role as ...

A new study shows that microplastics facilitate antimicrobial resistance, even without the presence of antibiotics.

An effective HIV-1 vaccine must therefore elicit antibodies that can neutralize many variants of the virus. While broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) have been isolated from HIV-1 infected ...

The film explores the significance of algae, a vital group of simple plants found in various environments, particularly in ...

Dr. Ashley Martin: "A large ammonium reservoir would have been very beneficial for early life, providing the nitrogen source ...

DNA segments that can move from one part of the genome to another -- are key to bacterial evolution and the development of antibiotic resistance. Researchers have discovered a new mechanism these ...

Researchers have uncovered mechanisms by which mobile genetic elements integrate into the chromosomes of bacteria with linear genomes.

Transposons have been found clustered at the chromosome ends in eukaryotic cells, but this is the first time it's been ...
