Two groups of microbes have been found living in hot water in Yellowstone National Park. The existence of the groups was known previously, because their DNA had been detected and it was clearly unlike anything we knew, but this is the first time the organisms themselves have been seen and de...
Dr Thom Scott-Phillips of Durham University led research intoPseudomonas aeruginosa, a type of bacteria common in water and soil, which showed that they communicated in a way that was previously thought to be unique to humans and perhaps some other primates. The bacteria used combinatorialcommunicat...

News Microbes Measure Ecological Restoration Success Researchers have shown how the community of bacteria present in the soil of land that had been cleared and grazed for 100 years was returned to its natural state just eight years after revegetation with native plants ...
Microbes, small and ancient life forms, play a key role in maintaining life on Earth. As has often been pointed out, without microbes, we'd die—without us, most microbes would get along just fine. Now, a study by scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSR...
August 25, 2024 By Khaled Amayreh I don’t think that most Muslims hate ordinary Americans who believe in the general principle of “live and let live.” Moreover I don’t think that most Americans would unhesitatingly embrace Israeli Nazism if they had the chance to know the truth about ...
Gut microbiota and its influence on metabolism are considered an environmental factor that contributes to the progression of many immune and neurodegenerative diseases, but their potential influence in POAG is not clearly established. In the current study, a team of Chinese researchers examined serum sa...
Dr Ollie Crush, Chief Science Officer at Mint, has been working with Christophe and his team of Tracey Bowers and Mark West to use our 100 litre bioreactor to produce the microbes used in the gold recovery process. Ollie explains, "It's part of a field of science called biometallurgy –...
It's long been know that microbes are to blame for food going off and becoming rotten but in the late 1970's, Dan Janzen of the University of Pennsylvania, and a winner of ecology's version of the Nobel Prize, suggested that making something rotten may b
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder have discovered microbes living in a toxic volcanic lake that may rank as one of the harshest environments on Earth. Their findings, published recently online, could guide scientists looking for signs of
