The primary goal of the TOMI project is to help organic vegetable growers improve the productivity and sustainability of their tomato crops by developing new biologically-based approaches to manage ...

The ability to precisely edit the genomes of bacteria has long been a goal of microbiologists. Such technology would enable ...

From Gram staining to IMViC biochemical profiling, microbiology labs rely on a range of techniques to identify and study bacteria. These methods blend time-tested protocols with advanced molecular ...

When microbial genomes are sequenced, computer pipeline annotation of the finished genome takes place to 1) predict where genes are located in the genome and 2) to assign function to genes if possible ...

This study provides valuable insights into the relationship between the microbial community and fermentation products, as well as the factors that cause changes in the microbial community. Shibazuke ...

A protein plucked from common soil bacteria and paired with a fatty acid can destroy colorectal cancer cells in laboratory ...

The bacterium Rhodococcus ruber eats and actually digests plastic. This has been shown in laboratory experiments by Ph.D. student Maaike Goudriaan at Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ ...

stronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) are currently supporting two investigations sponsored by the U.S. National Laboratory that are focused on microbial research. The space ...
