NewsGood friendships may make for a healthier gut microbiome
Researchers have found that sociable monkeys have more beneficial gut bacteria and fewer harmful gut bacteria.
-
NewsGram-negative bacteria build outer membrane into body armour-like structure
A new study has shed light on how Gram-negative bacteria like E. coli construct their outer membrane to resemble body armour, which has far-reaching implications for the development of antibiotics.
