Materials inspired by nature, or biomimetic materials, are nothing new. Scientists have designed water-resistant materials ...

Microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungi live together in neighborhoods known as microbial consortia. Some of these neighborhoods naturally exist in soils, food, water, and even the human gut ...

Ensuring pharmaceutical safety and efficacy hinges on rigorous quality control (QC). By identifying potential microbial contaminants early in drug development and production, microbial QC tests ...

Microbiology investigates the complexities of interactions among different microbial species and their higher eukaryotic ...

Researchers use microbial growth assays for many applications, from examining how different conditions affect certain microbial strains to evaluating the efficacy of antimicrobial compounds. Many ...

Researchers at Emory University have found that live gut bacteria can travel to the brain in mice fed a high-fat diet, a ...

These high-performance liquid chromatography plots depict how the co-culture of tobacco plant cells with the typically harmless bacterial strain BR1R-2 activates new metabolic pathways. New peaks on ...

Industrial microbiology is a branch of applied microbiology that uses microbes, such as bacteria, algae, and fungi, to produce high-value products, including drugs and fuels. 1 This field of science ...
