Swiss scientists from ETH Zurich have managed to create a bacterium-hybrid, which consists partly of a living organism and computer. The viability of the strain can now be controlled with the help of green and red colors. The basis of the modification was based on the bacterium Escherichia coli, which …

This bacterium can reduce the level of carbon dioxide in water.Research staff from the University of Krusse located in the South of Denmark, discovered the secret of the functioning of marine bacteria, which can stop the problem of global warming. This knowledge will be indispensable helpers of climate scientists. A …

Recent studies conducted by researchers in Germany and Switzerland, proved the unique role of bacteria and insects for the preservation of ecosystems. As it turned out, these organisms are of primary importance, which has previously been underappreciated and little studied. The researchers studied 150 ecosystems of meadows and pastures of …

Bacteria could appear more than 100 million years ago in the aftermath of a supernova explosion. And escaped from the nucleus of a celestial body the microorganisms could unwind throughout the galaxy. Physics from the technical University of Munich revealed traces of material which threw out an ancient supernova in …

Found bacteria that affect the brain. American researchers said that they managed to discover a new species of intestinal bacteria, which can affect the human brain and mental state of a person. It turned out that we are talking about the kind that can exist and develop only thanks to …

Doctors told about the new way of autism treatment. Scientists from Beloruskogo College in Houston during research have established that breast milk and probiotic togruta contain bacteria, whose activity may overcome certain symptoms of autism. These unusual microbes, scientists were able to find in the microflora of the intestine of …

Scientists have been creating bacteria, which will collect information about the state of the body. American scientists have developed a method that allows you to help edit the genome, to record data that contains information about changes inside the cell. It is reported that previously could “write” in a living …

What are the minimum and maximum sizes can reach the bacteria. Biologists from the California Institute of technology found out what the minimum and maximum sizes can reach the bacteria. The upper limit scientists have called ribosomal disaster, because too large cells require an incredible amount of RNA and ribosomes; …

E. Coli Image: Wikipedia Scientists have created nanoparticles that, when infrared light was able to cope with bacteria in a few seconds. The study is published in the journal Optical Materials Express. In their work the researchers used a phenomenon called plasmon resonance is a special electronic vibrations on the …
