AOD is a fast-progressing condition affecting thousands of mature oaks across England and Wales. It is characterized by dark, ...

Scientists have found further evidence to support the idea that the primary two domains of life, the Archaea and Bacteria, are separated by a long phylogenetic tree branch and therefore distantly ...

Scientists have discovered that a very common microbe that grows in many places, including human skin, can directly cause itchiness by affecting nerve cells. In microbial communities, balance often ...

Bacteria can be engineered to perform various tasks. For example bacteria has been engineered to make valuable proteins for medical use, and to make enzymes that are used to help degrade toxic ...
