Most people have heard of the gut microbiome, but the lungs, skin, mouth and genitals all have their own unique microbiome.
Fermented foods are a key component of west African cuisine. Making them safer for consumption should be a priority.
Despite an abundance of research on strep, there is still a great deal of debate in the scientific community over whether and when people should get tested and treated for it.
Researchers uncovered the foundations of biology by using E. coli as a model organism. But over-reliance on this microbe can lead to knowledge blind spots with implications for antibiotic resistance.
Usually, mould spores are invisible – but give them a niche to exploit and you’ll get all kinds of colours on the things in your home.
You can squash small bugs by stepping on them, but can you crush even tinier microorganisms like viruses and bacteria? It turns out that you’d need to apply a lot of pressure.
