Probiotics are something of a new dietary craze. Foods contain healthy “probiotic” bacteria, and these microbes can promote good gastrointestinal (GI) health. But what about your brain? Apparently, bacteria…
Australia has some of the world’s most conservative restrictions on using antimicrobial drugs in livestock. Possibly as a consequence, we have some of the lowest rates in the world of antibiotic resistance…
Plants are able to distinguish between pathogens and beneficial micro-organisms by detecting the different types of molecules…
“Molecular beacons”, which light up when they bind to mRNA, allow scientists to watch stem cells as they turn into tissue…
A paper released today in the journal PNAS provides a new estimate of microbial abundance, in light of new information, from the sub-seafloor realm (the so-called “deep biosphere”). As such, we now have…
Microbial communities living in and on plant roots can boost the health, growth and defence mechanisms of plants. Research…
Physicists have developed an oil-in-water solution, or “emulsion”, that mimics the behaviour of cell-to-cell adhesion in…
New mathematical analysis of 35-year-old data from the Mars Viking probes suggests that soil samples they retrieved may have…
The treatment of serious infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus (Golden Staph) is complicated by the development of antibiotic…
Researchers believe they have finally identified the variety of wild yeast that now underpins the entire lager beer industry…
A study published in Nature Geoscience yesterday reports the discovery of 3.4 billion-year-old microbial cells in ancient sandstones in Western Australia’s Pilbara region. Some headlines have suggested…
Microorganisms have been found to travel vast distances and might even be able to blow between continents, potentially spreading…
The molecular motors inside living cells are able to put themselves into an “energy saving mode”, conserving cellular fuel…
