Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels ...

Biodegradable plastics don’t break down on their own. Researchers found ocean microbes play a key role, and results can vary ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

The research, published in Science Advances, brought together scientists from Otago and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology. The team closely examined the molecular structure of Bas63, a ...

Microplastics gather anti-biotic resistant bacteria as they move through water, allowing microbes to spread from polluted ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending ...
