“In almost all of them, we got bacteria,” Brock says. The discovery of one of the species, Thermus aquaticus, would go on to revolutionize molecular biology by giving scientists a new tool to ...

Some microbes happily thrive in unforgiving environments. An extremophile hunt is underway to leverage their resilience ...

Jeremy B. Yoder, a Lancaster Mennonite High School graduate, is an associate professor of biology at California State ...

A recall is underway for some Topo Chico Mineral Water bottles for potential contamination with bacteria. A Coca-Cola spokesperson told FOX Business on Thursday that the company recalled a ...

In the oxygen-starved crevices of the world—gut linings, deep-sea vents, wastewater pipes—some bacteria are doing something totally out of the ordinary. Instead of inhaling oxygen like we do ...

Scientists know little about how bacteria by-products (called metabolites) released into the bloodstream impact human health. One class of metabolites of particular interest are indole compounds ...

Though most associate plague with a singular moment in medieval Europe, researchers say the bacteria has been infecting humans for at least 5,000 years, flaring up in three major pandemics, i.e. the ...

Discovering antibiotic-producing bacteria in hot springs, like those in India, offers hope in the fight against antimicrobial resistance.

In a study published in the Biophysical Journal, researchers found that bacteria can speed up by using the fluid pockets shaped by neighboring yeast cells. These microscopic moisture trails allow ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (small rod-shaped bacteria) swarms toward and around a neighboring Cryptococcus neoformans (round yeast) colony. The thin fluid halo surrounding the yeast enables the ...
