DNA analysis has revealed that 26 novel species of "extremophile" bacteria were lurking in a clean room that housed NASA's ...

However, it turns out that one extreme environment harboring a specialized community of highly adapted microbes is much closer to home: inside microwaves. This finding has now been reported for ...

researchers have identified 7,564 species of microbes, with nearly 90% of them completely new to science. This discovery not ...

Western Sydney University researchers have discovered that drought-affected wheat plants are able to call on eco-friendly ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new way to identify genetic changes that help tiny oxygen-producing microbes survive in extreme ...

“You are living in this high radiation environment; how is the DNA changing? I think there's a lot of interesting scientific questions about microbes and extreme environments, and the mechanisms of ...

A new study reports that 26 new bacterial species were found growing inside cleanrooms associated with NASA space missions.

Extreme environments – such as the International Space Station – are an exceptional source of novel microbial species and metabolites. Through evolution, these microbes have developed novel ...

China's discovery of Niallia tiangongensis, an evolving bacteria aboard the Tiangong space station, raises alarming concerns ...

Our study focused on identifying common patterns in the microbial changes that occur during decomposition in extreme cold environments. Over a period of 23 weeks, we collected and analyzed 393 samples ...
