Microbial activity underpins numerous processes in natural, industrial and clinical systems. Isothermal calorimetry has emerged as a sensitive, non-invasive technique to quantify the metabolic heat ...

Researchers have identified two gut bacteria that can produce serotonin, a key chemical that regulates bowel movements. In experiments with mice lacking serotonin, the microbes boosted serotonin ...

Hardy bacteria in a lab survived pressures comparable to an asteroid strike on the red planet, suggesting a hypothetical scenario in which our planet was seeded with life. By Robin George Andrews No ...

After her initial test run, she cultured a regular sample, as well as the shocked sample so she could compare them side by ...

A research team found that biochar production temperature determines whether soil microbes immobilize cadmium or increase its ...

Japanese scientists have launched the world’s first experiment to ferment sake in space, aiming to determine whether microbial brewing processes can function in lunar gravity. Conducted aboard the ...

While a common family of bacteria, Comamonadaceae, grow on plastics in urban rivers and wastewater systems, it was unclear how these bacteria interact with and break down plastic. Professor Ludmilla ...

Breakthrough in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) diagnostics could help engineers identify corrosion risks ...

Do they become “snowbirds” and relocate to warmer climates until spring? Do they hibernate like bears? Or do they continue to do the jobs they do so well, waiting for spring and fresh plantings to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Leaving the toilet seat up or down after leaving the bathroom has always been a great debate between couples. But what about ...

A study on wild northern cardinals shows that stress can change gut microbes and affect bird health in measurable ways.
