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

“Less than 1 percent of microbes have been cultivated, and we need new cultures,” researcher says

Team adds new details to our understanding of the nature of life way down under

To head the new center, Robert J. Genco will leave his post as director of UB STOR
