Far from Earth's gravitational pull, a simple viral infection took on a new evolutionary direction. A study conducted aboard the ISS found that when bacteria and ...
In a new study, terrestrial bacteria-infecting viruses were still able to infect their E. coli hosts in near-weightless ...

Viruses that evolved on the space station and were sent back to Earth were more effective at killing bacteria
Near-weightless conditions can mutate genes and alter the physical structures of bacteria and phages, disrupting their normal ...
Antibiotics can destroy many types of bacteria, but increasingly, bacterial pathogens are gaining resistance to many commonly used types. As the threat of antibiotic resistance looms large, ...
Do bacteria mutate randomly, or do they mutate for a purpose? Researchers have been puzzling over this conundrum for over a century. In 1943, microbiologist Salvador Luria and physicist turned ...
When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way ...
On the ISS, viruses can still infect bacteria, but the process slows and pushes both organisms to evolve along different ...
Queensland researchers have discovered that a mutation allows some E. coli bacteria to cause severe disease in people while other bacteria are harmless, a finding that could help to combat antibiotic ...
Bacteria can acquire resistance to antibiotics through random mutations in their DNA that provide them with an advantage that helps them survive. Finding genetic mutations, and discovering how they ...
Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...
