Cicada wings have been discovered to be the first natural surface to kill bacteria through their structure. Researches at…
In a chance sighting, scientists have managed to study the ecology of a whale carcass, found in an undersea crater beneath…
The most abundant bacteria on record are also the hosts of the most abundant viruses, a result found by researchers from…
The more we look, the more we realise just how important intact ecosystems are for our own well-being - and it really doesn’t matter at which scale we are looking. When Alan Cooper, Director of the Australian…
Antibiotics joined our growing arsenal of weapons in the fight against disease over seventy years ago. Their target – the bacterial infections that putrefied our wounds, filled our lungs with pneumonia…
Scientist have observed E. coli bacteria evolve a new function. They documented three stages of changes, including a complicated…
Cytokeratin 6A, once thought to be just one of the structural proteins in cells lining the cornea, may actually play a role…
A new anti-microbial catheter could remain infection free for up to twelve weeks. Scientists developed a catheter designed…
Using a process called paleo-experimental evolution, a 500-million-year-old gene from bacteria has been resurrected and inserted…
A new biofuel production process using microbes to manufacture biofuel and hydrogen, all while consuming agricultural wastes…
A type of bacteria that “eats” iron, leaving behind a surface of magnets, could be used to produce environmentally friendly…
Food poisoning doesn’t just come from dodgy kebabs, under-cooked chicken and restaurants with poor hygiene practices – it can also occur in the home. And anyone who has suffered a bout of food poisoning…
A new type of bioactive paper can detect coliforms such as E. coli in water in minutes. The small paper stripe uses chemicals…
As a food microbiologist, I have always been amazed at people’s belief in the three- or five-second rule. It goes something like this: if you retrieve food dropped on the floor or another surface within…
After the big wet, spare a thought for the health of your waterways and the substances that wash into them. Bacteria are important to the health of the waterways running through our backyards. As decomposers…
Bacteria that live in seabeds could provide vital knowledge about the global carbon cycle. The bacteria deep in the ocean…
Sheets of silk dipped in chlorine have been found to quickly kill off almost all bacteria, including the armoured spores…
Leafcutter ants are known for cultivating complex gardens of fungi and bacteria. While scientists have known for over a century…
Some types of bacteria have evolved spring-loaded molecular daggers with which to attack nearby cells. The “type VI secretion…
