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.
