A team of scientists have elucidated an ancient mechanism of cellular respiration. To that end, they studied bacteria that feed on the gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and turn them into acetic acid ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown bacterial protein, the structure of which is being used in the design of protein nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to tumors.

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest ...

Conjugation is a form of horizontal gene transfer that allows the exchange of genetic material between two organisms or cells ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

In his pursuit of longer life, Johnson underwent a proprietary procedure offered at GARM: follistatin plasmid gene ... to ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...
