Symbiotic ammonia-oxidizing archaea in marine sponges are not strict specialists, but true “flexitarians”. Research has shown that these microbes dine not only on ammonia but also on amino acids - and presumably do that to communicate with their animal host.
Researchers have established that both live probiotic and inactivated postbiotic treatments improve coral health—while the animals are under thermal stress during a natural marine heatwave.
New research is shedding light on the surprisingly broad range of neurological and systemic diseases that can be caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV), the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles.
Researchers have isolated naturally occurring light-driven bacteria from local pond water and shown that, within just one week, these microorganisms can substantially reduce the levels of organic pollutants in raw sewage.
Karl Munger is helping to lead an effort at Tufts University and Tufts Medicine that brings research scientists together with clinicians to save lives through improved HPV care and research.
To pinpoint hidden populations of bacteria, researchers have developed a deep learning-based microfluidic rapid phenotypic AST system, named DP-AST, inspired by the “six-four water diversion” principle of the ancient Dujiangyan irrigation system in China.

Scientists develop a database of validated guide RNAs to improve engineering of microbes for manufacturing applications.
A new recyclable system uses baker’s yeast to store H₂ in organic molecules and iron ions to release it when needed - offering a promising route toward more sustainable hydrogen production and storage.
Scientists have engineered yeasts that can simultaneously use different sugars in biomass crops.

An unexpected discovery about tRNAs leads to tool that can drive faster, safer production of new medicines.
Scientists develop a flexible living textile based on caterpillar fungus, which can be used to make self-colouring, self-cleaning and self-repairing clothes.

Molecular biologist Dr Tom Beneke (35) from the Biozentrum at the University of Würzburg has been awarded a €1.5 million ERC grant to further advance his research on Leishmania and the disease they cause.
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is undertaking enhanced surveillance and trapping activities following the detection of invasive Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and larvae at nearby residential properties in east London.
