The ever-diverse fungi play several key roles in our day-to-day life. From facilitating ecological nutrient cycling, to being used in industrial manufacturing and being a key ingredient in our food, ...

Though the harnessing of antibiotics is one of the most significant human innovations, their efficacy is continuously eroded by the craftiness of their microbial targets. Once a single bacterium ...

Researchers have imaged a major component in conjugation – the process bacteria use to share DNA with each other. During conjugation, bacteria can exchange genetic information in the form of special ...

This figure illustrates how bacteria in water environments redistribute their limited energy when exposed to zinc oxide (ZnO). The model shows that ZnO exposure reduces the energy available for ...

KLOSTERNEUBURG, Austria & ROCKVILLE, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VALANX Biotech (VALANX), a biotech company developing novel technology for site-specific protein conjugation in drug and diagnostics ...

Extracellular appendages on gut bacteria accelerate the transfer of antibiotic-resistance genes. “The death toll from antimicrobial resistance is expected to match cancer by 2050, meaning we urgently ...

Attachment of a bacterial protein to the tips of phage tails produces non-infectious, tailless phages. “Many of these bacterial systems have been shown to be the evolutionary origin of different human ...

Using models of vertical inheritance and horizontal transfer, they found that low doses of tetracycline, ampicillin, kanamycin, and streptomycin stabilize resistance and promote gene transfer across ...

Intravacc offers four complementary vaccine development platforms: bacterial vaccines, viral vaccines, conjugate vaccines, and E.coli expressed ...
