Just as the human body serves as a habitat for bacteria and other microbes, diverse, tiny organisms known as protists host ...

Biolog, Inc., a leading provider of cell-based microbial and phenotypic profiling products and multiomic microbial identification services, today announced the acquisition of Anaerobe Systems, Inc.

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

Vaginas host a complex microcosm of bacteria and yeasts that can fluctuate over time. However, little is known about these ...

Deep-seafloor organisms consume oxygen which scientists believe is produced by seawater electrolysis without light or sunshine.

In the Wasatch Mountains of the western US on the slopes above a spring-fed lake, there dwells a single giant organism that provides an entire ecosystem on which plants and animals have relied for ...

The vaginal flora is the bacteria that live inside the vagina. The normal vaginal flora is dominated by various lactobacillus species. Lactobacilli help to keep the vagina healthy by producing lactic ...

This discovery could also have implications in studies of polymer-secreting conglomerations of bacteria known as biofilms—the slippery goo on river rocks, for example—and in industrial ...

Are lactic acid bacteria aerobic or anaerobic? LAB can survive in both oxygen-rich (aerobic ... Processing also impacts whether live LAB are directly ingested or not – for example, fermented baked ...

These types of organisms also need ATP to sustain life. To obtain the required energy they undergo anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is a process that produces ATP in the absence of oxygen ...

Here, we review acidocalcisome ultrastructure, composition and function in different trypanosomatids and other organisms. Acidocalcisomes are acidic and dense organelles ? both by weight and by ...
