Advances in DNA sequencing have expanded our view of the microbial world, but the inability to cultivate most microbes has been a major constraint. Now, a systematic, predictive framework that ...

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are mostly harmless bacteria that live in the intestines of animals and humans. They are the most ...

This requires either targeted intervention in the genome or the cultivation of the most suitable bacterial strains. A new approach is now being presented by the research group led by André Studart, ...

Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

Beneath our feet lies a hidden pharmaceutical frontier: soil microbes are yielding new antibiotic leads just as scientists race to outpace the global rise of antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial ...

Scientists find fine mist produced by traditional tractor mounted sprayers also could help spread bacterial spot in the field ...
