A new study published in the journal Nature Microbiology by Monash University researchers indicates that chemosynthesis (growth utilising inorganic substances) supports bacteria in the deepest areas of the water without sunshine.

Our microbiome is dying. This essential collection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that live in our body and ...

The Cornell Center for Antimicrobial Resistance Research and Education has been newly established, uniting various experts in epidemiology, microbiology, sociology, among other fields to combat the critical issues of antimicrobial resistance.

Accelerated climate change is a major and acute threat to life on Earth. Rising temperatures are caused  atmospheric methane which is 30-times more potent than CO2 at trapping heat. Microbes are r ...

It has always been a mystery of how bacteria develop in the deepest areas of the water without sunshine

Maricopa County’s ozone levels are getting worse, harming the health of its 4.5 million residents and threatening to cost the region billions of dollars in the coming years.

If we want to better understand the environment and combat climate change, we need to look deep underground, where diverse microscopic fungal networks mingle with tree roots to form symbiotic partnerships, says microbiologist Colin Averill. As we learn more about which of these fungi are most beneficial to forest health, we can reintroduce them into the soil -- potentially enhancing the growth and resilience of carbon-trapping trees and plants. Hear more about the emerging science aiming to supe...

To preserve humankind’s diverse bacteria, scientists are harvesting, freezing, and storing poop from around the world.

Two weeks of eating a diet heavy in tomatoes increased the diversity of gut microbes and altered gut bacteria toward a more favorable profile in young pigs, researchers have found.
