In a new study, scientists analyzed how this biological battle played out between a strain of Escherichia coli ( E. Coli) and a T7 bacteriophage, both on Earth and in the microgravity environment ...

In the weightlessness of space, bacteria acquired mutations in genes involved in the microbe's stress response and nutrient ...

Ancient DNA from a Colombian hunter-gatherer reveals a 5,500-year-old infection, rewriting what we know about syphilis and ...

Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

One of the limitations of using phages to fight antibiotic-resistant bacteria is the process of engineering them, but a new ...

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 ...

For over a century, scientists have been fascinated by bacteriophages, the tiny viruses that naturally hunt and kill bacteria. University of Otago researchers are turning to these microscopic ...

The so-called magneto-sensitive fluorescent proteins or MFPs, overcome key limitations of previous biological candidates for quantum sensors.
