Microbial-based solutions are perhaps the best-kept secret in agricultural innovation.
The advent of electron microscopy and nanobiology has moved our appreciation of the living world to unprecedentedly small scales – with entirely new benefits and potential pitfalls to consider.
You gotta have guts to succeed at Rio 2016 – and very healthy ones, at that.
Do you know your parasites from your gut commensals? Read this and you will.
There’s more to fermented foods than a good meal. Scientists are learning just how such foods encourage the growth of probiotics and how this keeps people healthy.
Microbes have the ability to survive in extremely hot and cold conditions. This makes them invaluable tools for research: they can teach us how life has evolved and how we survive.
Genetic analysis shows that marine bacteria broke down much of the oil from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill. These findings could lead to more effective cleanups after future spills.
A combination of factors – pollution, disease and overfishing – is harming corals but scientists have found clues to effective treatment by studying corals’ microbiome.
Many of us spend our working lives in offices - but few of us are familiar with the other life forms that share our desks.
How microbes are the key ingredients when it comes to concocting a gourmet menu.
The world’s ‘drylands’ – already home to 38% of the world’s people – are set to dry out even more. And that could harm the soil microbes that keep soils healthy and help crops to grow.
Your thoughts, moods and behaviours are the product of your brain. What you eat affects the chemicals in your brain, and thus your moods and behaviours.
Africa’s soil crisis calls for quick and creative action. This includes deepening farmers’ knowledge about soil microbes.
There are more bacteria in the ocean than stars in the known universe. New genetic techniques are letting us use microbes as early warning systems for oceans in trouble from pollution and other stresses.
Scientists have figured out how microbes may have found food when trapped beneath ice for millions of years.
The word “virus” strikes terror into the hearts of most people. But most viruses are actually vital to our very existence.
Study pinpoints some of the chemical signs of microbial life on Enceladus. The study could in part be corroborated by Cassini’s flyby of the moon.
A novel approach to detect bacterial infections in 10-15 minutes is expected to become commercially available next year.
When we think of antibiotic overuse, we don’t generally think of allergies. Research is beginning to suggest that maybe we should.
