The human gut microbiome can be affected bya variety of things including our diet or medications. But how do we influence it?

BROOKINGS, S.D. -- Researchers are using new genetic tools to better understand the relationship between ruminant's gut micro-organisms and their hosts. "Many rumen organisms don't grow well in ...

This new family of bacteria is part of a phylum called Eremiobacterota, which had been thought to only live on land. But this work, reported in Nature, has clearly shown otherwise, as "these bacteria ...

Modifying the genetic structure of organisms is a central part of modern biotechnology. This article will discuss biotechnology and genetic engineering, providing an overview of the subject.

Bacteria, fungi, and microalgae – living things too small to be seen with the naked eye – are microorganisms that are commonly used for chemical production via their fermentation. The development of ...

Transgenic organisms are living beings whose genetic material has been artificially modified by introducing genes from another species. This process, known as transgenesis, allows for the transfer of ...

Miscanthus species are bioenergy crops because they require lower nutrient concentrations to achieve more growth. Credit: L. Brian Stauffer Plants often develop communities with microorganisms in ...

Using genetic discoveries based on modern bioluminescent organisms, scientists have estimated coral bioluminescence to have originated in the Cambrian period, about 540 million years ago. This finding ...
