Scientists have developed a new test that can easily and quickly identify bacteria in any liquid, such as water, milk, or urine. This test uses a type of virus that only insects bacterial cells, ...

Engineers and biochemists have brought their skills together to make it possible for untrained users to confirm contamination in fluids using a biogel test that changes color in the presence of such ...

Bacteria use a wide range of immune pathways to counter phage infection. A subset of these genes shares homology with components of eukaryotic immune systems, suggesting that eukaryotes horizontally ...

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) are a group of bacteria ‘generally recognized as safe’ (GRAS), which is found as a natural preservation agent in 25% of fermented foods in the European diet and 60% of the ...

Bioscientists turn bacteria into self-assembling building blocks. The macroscale engineered living materials they form could be used to soak up targeted contaminants from the environment or as custom ...
