Microbial identification by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry has made the leap from bench to bedside in just a decade

Clusters of bacteria employ the same "percolation" method we use to brew coffee

Researchers develop forward-looking framework for special category of the most serious emerging infectious diseases 

Astronauts can’t take a lot of spare parts into space because every extra ounce adds to the cost of fuel needed to escape Earth’s gravity

Cell generated power for 13 straight days through symbiotic interactions of two types of bacteria

Rutgers’ Jeffra Schaefer helped conduct study on the potential impact of climate change and rising methylmercury levels on the marine food web

"The activity of microorganisms in soil has the potential to alleviate or worsen climate change, so we need to form predictions regarding their activities,” researcher says

Researchers will explore the human microbiome, or genes of microorganisms in and on the body, as trace evidence for forensic identification

This suggests that the evolutionary pressure to conserve these resistance genes has existed for millions of years—not just since antibiotics were first used to treat disease

Researchers at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country are modifying surface properties of materials to obtain specific properties at a lower cost
