A bacteria commonly found in wastewater can break down plastic to turn it into a food source, a new study finds. Scientists hope it is a pollution solution.

We present a groundbreaking non-invasive, wearable glucose biosensor offering long-term stability, high selectivity, and biocompatibility at low cost. Utilizing bacterial endospores as novel ...

Bacterial ‘blood’ could heal cracks in concrete A damage-activated polymer layer may help extend concrete’s relatively short lifespan. By Andrew Paul Published Dec 8, 2023 3:00 PM EST ...

When induced into forming an endospore the bacteria can survive the harsh conditions inside concrete, lying dormant until called into action. “One of the amazing things about this research is how ...

Previous studies have made self-healing concrete infused with bacteria, but one of the main challenges was in how to keep the microbes alive long-term, while the concrete is intact.

1) Keep the antibiotic out. Bacteria are good at keeping unwanted molecules from getting inside. Gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus have a thick cell wall enclosing a lipid membrane.

Developing antibiotics that target multiple-drug-resistant bacteria Date: December 20, 2022 Source: Hokkaido University Summary: Researchers have designed and synthesized analogs of a new ...

No significant differences in microbial number were observed between bulk and rhizosphere soil. Mesophilic bacteria were represented mainly by Gram positive, filamentous organisms (actinomycetes) and ...

These bacteria could contribute to a healthy gut and, in turn, healthy aging. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.
