Microbial systems are no longer confined to classical fermentation. In the face of global sustainability challenges, these ...

How can computer models help design microbial communities? Researchers examined the development perspectives of so-called synthetic biology. In a new article, they explain why computer-aided biology ...

Plant roots secrete various flavonoids that are vital in establishing mutually beneficial relationships with rhizobial and mycorrhizal symbionts. Additionally, plants release other signaling molecules ...

A research teamreveals how integrating manure with synthetic nitrogen fertilizers can significantly reduce agricultural ...

Microscopic organisms such as bacteria and fungi live together in neighborhoods known as microbial consortia. Some of these neighborhoods naturally exist in soils, food, water, and even the human gut ...

Research has indicated that many common pollutants are harmful to the important microbes in the gastrointestinal tract. | ...

A field known as synthetic biology has become one of the most highly anticipated in science. Its outputs range from golden rice, which is genetically engineered to provide vitamin A, to advances ...

An international group of researchers has recently warned the broader scientific community and the public of the risks of mirror life—specifically, the creation of mirror microbes by scientists in the ...

In 1847 when Louis Pasteur first methodically separated left- and right-handed tartrate crystals from the cork of a wine bottle, the idea of creating life from oppositely handed molecules was almost ...

How can computer models help design microbial communities? Within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre CRC1535 “MibiNet” coordinated by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU), a ...
