In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...
A research team says their findings could help tackle soaring antibiotic-resistant infections that cause urinary tract ...
Plants are quietly borrowing tricks from bacteria, repurposing foreign genes to build complex molecules that look a lot like ...
Scientists found that the space station phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or ...
The International Space Station (ISS) is a closed ecosystem, and the biology inside it — including its microbial residents — ...
Traditional biochemical methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new simple approach to ...
Some antibiotics stop bacteria from growing without actually killing them, allowing infections to return later. Scientists at ...
Who are the real mutants, and what’s going to cure them? Of course, we all are mutants – not just as the Homo sapiens sapiens limited-edition model from 4.5 billion years of mutation at Terrestrial ...
