Industrial fermentation using bacteria, yeast and other microbes to produce specific products has the potential to reduce ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria ...

Rice University scientists discovered bacteria thriving without oxygen by releasing electricity. These microorganisms use ...

Photosynthesis is the process plants, algae and some bacteria use to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Food fermentation is the process whereby bacteria, yeasts, mold, or fungi break down carbs — such as starch and sugar — into acids, gas, or alcohol. The process results in a fermented food ...

Magnetotaxis is the process by which magnetotactic bacteria orientate themselves within Earth's geomagnetic field and then use their flagellum to swim to oxygen-poor sediments where the oxygen and ...

To get this to work, the researchers had to evolve a bacterial strain that could tolerate the manufacturing process. It turns out that the evolved bacteria made the plastic even stronger.
