Bacterial sensory systems represent a dynamic and rapidly evolving area at the intersection of molecular microbiology and biochemistry, where recent ...

A six-year analysis of marine microbes in coastal California waters has overturned long-held assumptions about how the ocean's smallest organisms interact.

The field of plant-microbe interactions has seen significant advancements with the advent of metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, offering unprecedented insights into microbial communities compared ...

Harmful algal blooms are not all the same. That's true even of the blooms within northwest Ohio, where researchers have long known that the strain of cyanobacteria that typically dominates blooms in ...

In a recent study, researchers investigated the interactions between Pyricularia oryzae, the rice blast fungus, and the beneficial soil bacterium Streptomyces griseus. They found that P. oryzae ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, warming the planet far faster than carbon dioxide over the short term. Yet much of the world’s methane escapes into the air from landfills, farms, ...

Though a founding concept of ecology suggests that the physical environment determines where organisms can survive, modern scientists have suspected there is more to the story of how microbial ...

New research shows that nanoplastics in water can strengthen bacteria, raising concerns about drinking water safety.

The microbiome of infants is shaped by social relationships from an early age and not only by family sources, finds a recent study published in the journal Nature. The study was conducted by ...
