Almost all living things breathe oxygen to eliminate the excess electrons produced when nutrients are converted into energy.

Yale researchers uncovered the molecular machinery behind nanowire assembly in microbes, enabling advances in electricity ...

Researchers currently use extracts from the basement membrane, a specific type of extracellular matrix ... turned to an unexpected alternative: a bacterial protein. Specifically, they focused ...

Researchers isolated a strain of Pseudomonas alcaligenes that can withstand temperatures as high as 44 °C from a hot spring ...

Mice infected with the bacteria that cause tuberculosis (TB) fared better when treated with an experimental compound that modulates immune responses ...

Our second aim is to deepen our understanding of multi-species microbe ecology, such as fungi-bacteria interactions, through studying interactions mediated by extracellular particles emitted by ...
