Millions could be relieved by crystal-free catheters - Microbiology Today: February 2005 issue Investigations into the bacteria that infest urinary catheters could relieve millions of patients each year from the discomfort of recurrent infection, according to an article in the February 2005 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine of the Society for General Microbiology. view more (2005-02-09)
Thinking ahead: Bacteria anticipate coming changes in their environment A new study by Princeton University researchers shows for the first time that bacteria don't just react to changes in their surroundings -- they anticipate and prepare for them. The findings, reported in the June 6 issue of Science, challenge the prevailing notion that only organisms with complex... view more (2008-06-19)
Uprooting and replanting the tree of life A new theory on the evolution of ancient microbes is set to challenge widespread scientific views of early life on earth and could overturn previous interpretations of the huge bank of molecular taxonomic data that has been built up in recent years, according to research published today in the... view more (2002-01-08)
£30 Million extra for new research on benefits from knowledge of genes The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) today announces its biggest ever single research initiative, in a bid to ensure that the UK remains a world leader in the race to benefit from new information about the types of genes present in different plants, animals and... view more (2001-02-01)
Making Money From Microbes - Microbiology Today: February 2004 Issue Microbes make money. Not literally of course, but they have been exploited by us for thousands of years to make products for our consumption, use or trade, such as beer, cheese and bread. More recent examples are antibiotics, genome sequencing, bioremediation and greener fuels. With ever more... view more (2004-02-10)
Spaceflight shown to alter ability of bacteria to cause disease Space flight has been shown to have a profound impact on human physiology as the body adapts to zero gravity environments. Now, a new study led by researchers from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University has shown that the tiniest passengers flown in space-microbes-can be equally... view more (2007-09-25)
University of Arizona scientist shares in discovery of microbe filaments' power Researchers from The University of Arizona and Columbia University have discovered that tiny filaments on bacteria can bundle together and pull with forces far stronger than experts had previously thought possible. view more (2008-04-21)
Bacteria discovery aids food production, water purification The search for a type of bacteria that creates better ice cream and artificial snow has suddenly become a lot easier, thanks to a discovery by Queen's University biologist Virginia Walker. view more (2006-10-02)
Biologists offer distilleries a leaner, cleaner solution Biologists in Manchester have helped create a breakthrough in alcohol production that could save industry millions of pounds and help clean up the environment. Many distilleries across Europe still rely on 19th century technology pioneered by Louis Pasteur, so the invention of a vastly more... view more (2003-03-04)
Rotting leaf litter study could lead to more accurate climate models Over the past decade, in numerous field sites throughout the world, mesh bags of leaf and root litter sat exposed to the elements, day and night, throughout the four seasons, gradually rotting away. view more (2007-01-19)
First for scientists in unique China-Europe link Scientists from the University of Leicester will be among the first European researchers exploring some of the most remote and inhospitable areas of the world thanks to a unique 1 million euro (£625,000) collaboration between Europe and China. This first microbial biotechnology cooperation... view more (2002-10-08)
Scientists equip bacteria with custom chemo-navigational system Using an innovative method to control the movement of Escherichia coli in a chemical environment, Emory University scientists have opened the door to powerful new opportunities in drug delivery, environmental cleanup and synthetic biology. view more (2007-05-11)
Fossilised Embryos - 500 Million Years Old Evidence from fossilised embryos of worm-like creatures that lived 500 million years ago shows that embryos developed then in much the same way as their living relatives do today. The implications of this remarkable discovery, reported in this week's issue of Nature, is that embryological processes... view more (2004-01-12)
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... view more (2007-06-07)
New tool cracks genomic code quicker than ever US and Australian scientists have pioneered a new hybrid method for genomic sequencing that is faster and cheaper than state of the art technologies. view more (2006-07-11)
UIC scientists discover how some bacteria survive antibiotics Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago have discovered how some bacteria can survive antibiotic treatment by turning on resistance mechanisms when exposed to the drugs. The findings, published in the April 24 issue of the journal Molecular Cell, could lead to more effective... view more (2008-05-01)
DOE JGI Releases Latest Version of IMG An enhanced version of the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) data management system has been released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). IMG 1.1 contains 32 new public genomes and 14 new genomes sequenced by DOE JGI, bringing the total of genomes in IMG to 337. view more (2005-06-01)
Why cloning could wipe out species Cloning on a grand scale could spell the end of species as they become progressively nastier, warn researchers at the University of Sussex. Evolutionary biologist Dr Joel Peck has produced a mathematical model that suggests that asexual reproduction -in which organisms are reproduced from a single... view more (2004-04-26)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features tissue culture methods for immune cells and neurons The complexity of vital organ systems makes them difficult to study in living organisms. Tissue culture methods for specific cell types allow researchers to break these systems down into component parts that can be readily manipulated and observed. view more (2008-12-03)
Protein opens hope of treatment for cystic fibrosis patients Scientists have finally identified a direct role for the missing protein that leaves cystic fibrosis patients open to attack from lung-damaging bacteria, the main reason most of them die before their 35th birthday, scientists heard today (Thursday 11 September 2008) at the Society for General... view more (2008-09-11)
Friendly bacteria in alcoholic milkshake could fight food allergies Feeding babies alcoholic milk may help to protect against some food allergies. Kefir, a traditional fermented drink, is consumed in Eastern Europe as a health food, and is often used to wean babies, as it is easily digested. view more (2006-10-16)
Mosquito immune system examined Mosquitoes employ the same immune factors to fight off bacterial pathogens as they do to kill malaria-causing Plasmodium parasites, according to a study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2006-06-09)
Global warming predictions are overestimated, suggests study on black carbon A detailed analysis of black carbon -- the residue of burned organic matter -- in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions. view more (2008-11-20)
Microorganisms one part of the solution to energy problem, says report The answer to one of the world's largest problems - the need for clean, renewable sources of energy - might just come from some of the world's smallest inhabitants - bacteria - according to a new report, Microbial Energy Conversion, released by the American Academy of Microbiology. view more (2006-11-17)
