Learn more about a new, preliminary method that scientists are starting to use to control certain functions of bacteria.

The Engineering of Bacteria to See Light (EOS) project has pioneered a system that allows bacteria to sense light and convert light energy into electrical signals across their membranes without ...

Breathing, at its core, is about moving electrons. In humans and most other organisms, oxygen acts as the final destination ...

A new platform dubbed BacterAI can conduct as many as 10,000 experiments per day to teach itself – and us – more about bacteria. The human body is home to trillions of microbes, covering ...

The human oral cavity, which includes cheeks, tongue, palate, gums, and teeth, is a highly diverse ecosystem that harbors more than 700 bacterial species, including cultivable and non-cultivable ...

Goudriaan had a special plastic manufactured especially for these experiments with a distinct form of carbon (13 C) in it. When she fed that plastic to bacteria after pretreatment with "sunlight ...

To test the discovery, the team ran simulations and lab experiments. They showed that bacteria placed on conductive surfaces could grow and continue generating electricity even without oxygen.

LeRose said DPU decided on projects that would reduce the bacteria in the river cost-effectively but was required to pick one at Gillies Creek. DPU recommended a high-rate disinfection project in ...

Laboratory experiments show that cable bacteria can support other microbes that consume crude oil, so researchers are investigating how to encourage the bacteria’s growth to help clean up oil ...

The researchers could even enhance this desalination by filtering water exposed to the bacteria through the ... The researchers did try performing these experiments in a Mars-like carbon-dioxide ...
