Scientists rose to this challenge by inserting the metabolic pathway for carbon fixation and sugar production (the so-called Calvin cycle) into the bacterium E. coli, a known organism that eats sugar and releases carbon dioxide.

A new anti-bacterial surface incorporates molecular compounds that can block bacteria’s ability to communicate and form biofilms, which interferes with their capacity to resist antibiotics and coordinate an assault on the host.

These young entrepreneurs may be close to something huge for antibiotic resistance.

Bacteria are helping us learn more about the history of our universe.

Microbes from farm animals - carried into the home in dust - reprogram children's immune cells, protecting them from illness.

Sandia National Laboratories researcher Mike Kent developed a new hybrid technique to study how a critical HIV protein changes shape to allow infected cells to evade the immune system.

A new study out in Nature Microbiology has found that mercury can actually turn into an even more toxic form, due to a tiny resident of the frozen world.

A new source of antibiotics may be right within sniffing distance.

Scientists said it's a breakthrough that could help hospitals deal with infection from bedsores and ulcers.

Tuberculosis is one of the oldest human diseases. Could it have started because of fire?

A small step towards harnessing the energy potential of microorganisms.
