While working out the structure of a cell-killing protein produced by some strains of the bacterium Enterococcus faecalis, researchers stumbled on a bit of unusual biochemistry. They found that a ...

An independent third-party study by one of the foremost Biomedical Research centers in the U.S. has demonstrated that NanoLogix's BioNanoPore (BNP) Ultra-Fast Identification Technology enables ...

Microorganisms live in biofilms - the equivalent of microbial "cities"- everywhere on Earth. These city-like structures protect and house microbial communities and play essential roles in enabling ...

Background: Research team led by Christof Hauck, professor of cell biology at the University of Konstanz, and Thomas Böttcher, professor of microbial biochemistry at the University of Vienna, discover ...

I am an environmental microbiologist who studies microbial communities in diverse ecosystems. Microbes (Bacteria and Archaea) are ubiquitous in the environment and play essential roles in the cycling ...

Soil consists of three basic parts including plant debris, microorganisms within the soil that decompose organic matter, as well as stable organic matter that is also referred to as humus. The ...

Marjory Stephenson (1885–1948) was a pioneering British biochemist whose work laid the foundation for modern bacterial metabolism studies. In 1928, she became one of the first scientists to isolate an ...
