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…
When you read the word “bacteria” you probably think about illness, advertisements for “probiotic” food supplements, and maybe about brushing your teeth. Chances are, you probably don’t think about electricity…
Could contemporary plague outbreaks such as those that have hit Peru and the USA have their origins in the medieval era? It would seem so. A paper published in Nature today reports a genome sequence taken…
Bacteria known as anammox germs can transform ammonia into into hydrazine, a type of rocket fuel. For the first time since…
The discovery that the protein D13 is common to poxvirus and viruses that infect bacteria could be of of interest to both…
We know, because it’s big news, that drug-resistant infections are on the rise globally. But could Australian mammals hold the key to a fightback? Our current crop of antibiotics is in danger of becoming…
Reusable tourniquets could be responsible for transmitting superbugs in hospitals, according to research published in the…
Genetically modified bacteria might provide a new way to clean up waterways contaminated with mercury. The bacteria contains…
