In the quest to take the “forever” out of “forever chemicals,” bacteria might be our ally. Most remediation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) involves adsorbing and trapping them, but ...

A team has identified a strain of bacteria that can break down and transform at least three types of PFAS, and, perhaps even more crucially, some of the toxic byproducts of the bond-breaking process.

Feb. 11, 2025 — Biomedical engineers have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy ...

Solid-state NMR analysis of Bacillus subtilis biofilms reveals critical phases of maturation and dispersal, impacting medical ...

Microbiology is the study of microscopic organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, archaea, fungi and protozoa. This discipline includes fundamental research on the biochemistry, physiology ...

Biofilms are an important, but incompletely understood, form of growth and survival for many bacteria. Recent evidence reveals that biofilms are structurally complex, dynamic systems that have ...

anaerobic gram-positive cocci, and Fusobacterium species. The presence of these bacteria is only "normal" if the titer of resident flora is low. When bacterial titers exceed 1000 colony forming ...

Nine species (240 strains) of gram-negative bacilli were studied; 221 were freshly isolated from the urinary and intestinal tracts, wounds and abscesses. Thirteen strains of salmonella and 6 of ...
