Can the plants growing around us solve the antimicrobial resistance crisis? When we think about plants, we usually think about the natural beauty they bring to our surroundings. [...]
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can disrupt antimicrobial testing by masking or mimicking antibacterial activity. Learn how BioLabTests tackles this with accelerated ageing to ensure accurate and compliant results using ISO 22196 and related methods.
World Environment Day 2025 is a timely reminder of the importance of protecting our ecosystems. Among the many innovative solutions scientists and environmentalists are exploring, bioremediation and plastic-eating bacteria are leading the way in cleaning up pollutants like plastics, oil, and waste.
People love video games—so much that around 3 billion people play them worldwide[1]. But what if your gaming skills could help scientists solve real-world problems? By integrating a scientific task into Borderlands 3, gamers are enjoying their favourite hobby and contributing to important scientific advancements.
The gut microbiome is typically associated with bacteria, but did you know it also contains a wide variety of viruses? These viruses play crucial roles in the digestive system microbiome and are significant in both health and disease.
Recently, scientists discovered a group of gut bacteria enzymes with the potential to transform all blood types into universal blood type O. This breakthrough could facilitate blood transfusions in healthcare and save lives.
Microorganisms, tiny but mighty, play a critical role in maintaining the health and function of Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems. They are incredibly diverse and can be found everywhere, [...]
Meet Clostridium botulinum, a microbe with both impressive capabilities and serious risks. This bacterium causes botulism - a rare but severe condition that can lead to flaccid muscle paralysis and respiratory failure. However, the same characteristics that make C. botulinum lethal also can make it beneficial.
Microorganisms, the resilient inhabitants of Earth for billions of years, long before humans existed, have adapted to flourish in harsh environments. The capacity of microorganisms to withstand challenging conditions prompts a crucial question: “Can they also survive in space?”.
Until recently, genetics has been like a read only document. We could see and map DNA, but we couldn’t change it in any significant way. That was, until CRISPR but where did it start? Today we’ll be talking about some very basic genetics and how bacteria have led to a massive change in how we interact with it.
