Living emulsions, which incorporate active bacteria into oil–water multiphase systems, represent an innovative integration of microbiology and colloid science. The active role of living species offers ...

INRAE scientists have identified seven bacteria involved in the microbiota barrier effect, which prevents pathogenic bacteria ...

Corals are the architects of reefs throughout tropical seas, providing protection and sustenance for the species that depend ...

Researchers have analyzed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through lice rather than ticks, and how it gained ...

In addition, these bacteria are able to form a protective biofilm, activate oxidative stress responses, and promote repair in the face of radiation damage. “This aids their survival in the space ...

The image shows the ‘phylogenetic tree’ of a group of genes called Amt, found in SAR11 bacteria ... to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that support life in the oceans—and, by ...

Most people have encountered the black, gray, or pink stains of bacterial biofilms built up on the bathroom tiles or kitchen ...

Phthalate ester (PAE) contamination, particularly from dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), originating from landfills and released into the environment, poses a significant ...

Abstract: We discuss various mechanisms of laser diode degradation based on our own experiments and on the available literature data. In most of the cases, degradation of InGaN laser diodes occurs ...
