Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to study plant microbiomes—communities of microbes living in and around ...

Plant roots secrete various flavonoids that are vital in establishing mutually beneficial relationships with rhizobial and mycorrhizal symbionts. Additionally, plants release other signaling molecules ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

Methane-eating microbes could help convert one of the most powerful greenhouse gases into useful ...

Microbial carotenoids offer faster production, health benefits and potential applications in foods, animal feed and cosmetics ...

A field known as synthetic biology has become one of the most highly anticipated in science. Its outputs range from golden rice, which is genetically engineered to provide vitamin A, to advances ...

Biology — the science of life, living things and the processes that keep us all running — links up in essential ways with many other sciences, such as chemistry, physics and mathematics, which help us ...

Nearly a century ago, Alexander Fleming discovered a penicillin-producing mold. Over the following decades, various microbes were used to make a range of therapeutics, from insulin to vaccines.

An international group of researchers has recently warned the broader scientific community and the public of the risks of mirror life—specifically, the creation of mirror microbes by scientists in the ...
