Gut microbes engineered to dim their fluorescence under stress offered a real-time, noninvasive biosensor to track gut health ...

A Lambton College laboratory for studying moderate-level pathogens and microorganisms is getting a nearly $1.8-million ...

As scientists continue their exploration of the thousands of organisms that live inside our body, a new study is showing just how much one “good” bacteria can be exploited to its host’s advantage.

Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have generated strains of the bacterium Escherichia coli that consume just CO 2 as their nutrient source, instead of organic compounds. They ...

Being able to grow the elusive and poorly understood bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), will make it easier for researchers to find treatments for the disease that has destroyed ...

The Lab Report: Every week, the Lab Report takes a deep dive into the (research) lives of students and professors outside the classroom. When a population of bacteria is large enough, individual ...

“Mirror bacteria” made in a lab could endanger all life on earth, an international group of leading scientists have warned in a new report. All building-block molecules of life like DNA, proteins and ...

Over the course of several months, researchers created Escherichia coli strains that consume carbon dioxide for energy instead of organic compounds. This achievement in synthetic biology highlights ...
