Beneficial relationships between plants and soil microbes play a critical role in agriculture, providing sustainable ...

The vaginal flora is the bacteria that live inside the vagina. The normal vaginal flora is dominated by various lactobacillus species. Lactobacilli help to keep the vagina healthy by producing lactic ...

Gene-edited soil bacteria can supply corn with up to 35 pounds of nitrogen per acre from the atmosphere during early growth, potentially reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers.

A computational study has replaced the carbon in cytosine, guanine, adenine, thymine and deoxyribose with nitrogen and boron to understand what carbonless DNA might ... Furthermore, docking ...

For years, attempts have therefore been made to transfer the natural nitrogen fixation in bacteria and archaea to crops. The enzyme nitrogenase is responsible for the binding of nitrogen.

Rhizobial symbiosis refers to the mutually beneficial relationship that forms between plants and soil bacteria that fix nitrogen, termed rhizobia. Nuclear calcium oscillations initiate plant ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo say they've made a breakthrough in introducing a new trait into bacteria found in wastewater, giving them the ability to break down microplastics.

With its outstanding sensitivity and stability, SPRm 200 also allows for the measurement of nanometer scale binding activities, the study of bacteria and virus interactions with antimicrobial ...

Our results suggest that what we eat is potentially very important in controlling the likelihood of infection with a range of bacteria.

The biological route to fixing nitrogen is done by diazotrophs, nitrogen-fixing bacteria that contain an enzyme called nitrogenase. In contrast to the Haber-Bosch process, nitrogenase can be ...

This valuable study presents findings linking prophage carriage to lifestyle regulation in the marine bacterium Shewanella fidelis, with potential implications for niche occupation within a host ...
