Innovative Research Technique Reveals Another Natural Wonder in Yellowstone Park: A Unique, Photosynthesizing Life-Form
In the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park, a team of researchers partially funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) discovered a new bacterium that transforms light into chemical energy. view more (2007-07-27)
UTSA biology researchers demystify elusive war zone bacterium
Tao Weitao, a researcher in the College of Sciences' Department of Biology at the University of Texas at San Antonio is making great strides in a project that was funded one year ago by the San Antonio Area Foundation. view more (2009-08-17)
Bacteria could make new library of cancer drugs that are too complex to create artificially
Researchers at the University of Warwick are examining a way of using bacteria to manufacture a new suite of potential anti-cancer drugs that are difficult to create synthetically on a lab bench. view more (2006-11-01)
Cancer-causing gut bacteria exposed
Normal gut bacteria are thought to be involved in colon cancer but the exact mechanisms have remained unknown. Now, scientists from the USA have discovered that a molecule produced by a common gut bacterium activates signalling pathways that are associated with cancer cells. view more (2008-09-22)
Small molecule triggers bacterial community
While bacterial cells tend to be rather solitary individuals, they are also known to form intricately structured communities called biofilms. view more (2008-12-23)
Uncovering the secrets of ulcer-causing bacteria
A team of researchers from Boston University, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology recently made a discovery that changes a long held paradigm about how bacteria move through soft gels. view more (2009-08-13)
Researchers uncover attack mechanism of illness-inducing bacterium found in shellfish
An infectious ocean-dwelling bacterium found in oysters and other shellfish kills its host's cells by causing them to burst, providing the invader with a nutrient-rich meal, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found. view more (2008-08-19)
The microbial hydrocarbon diet
Bioremediation of industrial sites and petrochemical spillages often involves finding microbes that can gorge themselves on the toxic chemicals. This leaves behind a non-toxic residue or mineralized material. view more (2009-06-12)
Dysentery uses 'sword and shield' to cause infection
Scientists have found that the bacterium that causes dysentery uses a 'sword and shield' approach to cause infection. view more (2005-02-23)
Cranberries contain possible anti-caries/anti-plaque agents
Scientists have discovered that the humble cranberry harbors several anti-oxidants (flavonoids) that show the ability to counteract the damaging effects of the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, which causes dental caries (tooth decay). view more (2006-06-29)
Scientists a step closer to producing fuel from bacteria
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have shown how bacteria could be used as a future fuel. The research, published in the journal Bioinformatics, could have significant implications for the environment and the way we produce sustainable fuels in the future. view more (2008-08-07)
New bacterium discovered -- related to cause of trench fever
A close cousin of the bacterium that debilitated thousands of World War I soldiers has been isolated at UCSF from a patient who had been on an international vacation. The woman, who has since recovered, suffered from symptoms similar to malaria or typhoid fever, two infections that can occur in returning travelers. view more (2007-06-07)
Liverpool Scientists Uncover How E.Coli Became Lethal
A University of Liverpool scientist has discovered how the food poisoning bug E.Coli 0157 became deadly to humans. view more (2005-04-04)
Vineyard weeds found to host Pierce's disease of grapes
New research just released in the September issue of Plant Disease suggests that weeds commonly found in California's wine country may enable the spread of Pierce's disease of grapes, one of the most destructive plant diseases affecting grapes. view more (2005-09-22)
Discovery could aid fight against cystic fibrosis infection
Harvard Medical School researchers have discovered one way that a hardy disease-causing bacteria could be surviving in the lungs of chronically infected cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. view more (2006-06-12)
Vaccinated infants well protected against severe pneumococcal infection in Norway
Pneumococcus is a bacterium that can cause serious illnesses in some young children, e.g. meningitis, blood poisoning and pneumonia. Most of those who become ill are previously healthy without any known predisposing factors. The bacterium is present in the nose of up to 80 - 90% of healthy young children. view more (2008-07-10)
TB vaccine could help asthma
THE protection the BCG vaccine provides against tuberculosis is notoriously poor. But it could hold the key to a vaccine against asthma, which now affects one in seven children in the West. Klaus Joseph Erb`s team at the University of Würzburg in Germany gave mice nasal sprays containing the bacterium used... view more... (2002-02-27)
Francisella tularensis: Stopping a biological weapon
Scientists hope a vaccine is on the horizon for tularemia, a fatal disease caused by the pathogen Francisella tularensis, an organism of concern as a potential biological warfare agent. Until recently we knew very little about this bacterium. view more (2008-07-28)
Nanotube-producing bacteria show manufacturing promise
Two engineers at the University of California, Riverside are part of a binational team that has found semiconducting nanotubes produced by living bacteria - a discovery that could help in the creation of a new generation of nanoelectronic devices. view more (2007-12-10)
Scientists discover two-component lantibiotic with therapeutic potential
The discovery and preparation of a naturally occurring antibiotic could open the door to new therapeutic drugs for treating nasty infections. view more (2006-10-31)
