In the weightlessness of space, bacteria acquired mutations in genes involved in the microbe's stress response and nutrient ...

Microbes across Earth's coldest regions are becoming more active as glaciers, permafrost and sea ice thaw, accelerating ...

The sensory proteins that control the motion of bacteria constantly fluctuate. AMOLF researchers, together with international collaborators from ETH Zurich and University of Utah, found out that these ...

New research shows that the gene PTPN2 helps regulate gut bacteria and plays a key role in protecting the body from excessive inflammation. Scientists at the, Riverside, are uncovering how a single ge ...

Scientists found that natural bacteria can eat methane, cut climate pollution, and turn waste gas into useful materials.

Warming temperatures may cause methane emissions from wetlands to rise — by helping methane-producing bacteria thrive. Higher temperatures favor the activity of wetland soil microbes that produce the ...

In the obesity group, microbes appeared more active in breaking down sugars and proteins in ways that could contribute to health problems. Those metabolic shifts were also linked with higher levels of ...

Astronauts on the International Space Station often suffer from various immune system dysfunctions, including allergies and skin rashes, even though they go through rigorous screening and are probably ...

A major new review of human studies finds consistent differences in gut bacterial communities between people with mild ...
