In a groundbreaking scientific development, a strain of bacteria that can produce pure gold has been discovered. This finding opens up new and exciting possibilities for gold extraction techniques ...

Whether in the human body or on surfaces, bacteria protect themselves from outside attackers using biofilms. Physicist ...

Bacterial sensory systems represent a dynamic and rapidly evolving area at the intersection of molecular microbiology and biochemistry, where recent ...

An international team including researchers from MIPT’s Laboratory for Advanced Studies of Membrane Proteins have proposed an explanation of the way bacteria process external signals. By identifying ...

Scientists are studying how bacteria move across surfaces -- a process known as twitching motility. New findings led to the surprising discovery of the key role surface properties play in either ...

Tiny plastic particles may be quietly reshaping microbial life in drinking water systems. Nanoplastics already raise fears because people can ingest them directly. Now scientists say these tiny partic ...

Modern beer production is a US$117 billion business in the United States, with brewers producing over 170 million barrels of beer per year. The brewing process is time- and energy-intensive, and each ...

Gut bacteria break down dietary fiber into short-chain fatty acids, which are known to affect our immune system. In this study, researchers investigated in detail the mechanisms by which these ...
