Controlled experiment allowed viruses to attack bacteria in space—and the results surprised scientists
For the research, scientists compared samples incubated on Earth and on the International Space Station.
Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria on Earth.
Scientists discover microgravity in space could help fight drug-resistant superbugs by creating unique viral mutations, according to a new study.
Just like every other creature, bacteria have evolved creative ways of getting around. Sometimes this is easy, like swimming ...
(THE CONVERSATION) Do bacteria mutate randomly, or do they mutate for a purpose? Researchers have been puzzling over this conundrum for over a century. In 1943, microbiologist Salvador Luria and ...
Recent research uncovers the resilience of certain soil microorganisms in the face of increasing drought conditions. While many bacteria become inactive during dry spells, specific groups persist and ...
