A merger of microbes: Study shows low-nutrient conditions alter viral infection
Phys.org· 6 days agoFour years ago, scientists made a surprising lab discovery about ocean bacteria that were infected by two different viruses: The infections resulted in two very different virocells whose functions ...
Induced dual-target rebalance simultaneously enhances efficient therapeutical efficacy in tumors - ...
Nature· 6 days agoMultiple gene abnormalities are major drivers of tumorigenesis. NF-κB p65 overactivation and cGAS silencing are important triggers and genetic defects that accelerate tumorigenesis. However, ...
Survival dynamics of starving bacteria are determined by ion homeostasis that maintains plasmolysis...
Nature· 6 days agoWhen bacteria starve, their cytoplasm detaches from the cell wall. A model now shows that this process determines bacterial death rates and can be controlled to keep bacteria viable in a starved state.
Salty soil sensitizes plants to an unconventional mode of bacterial toxicity
Phys.org· 12 hours agoClimate change, and specifically rising temperatures, will place a great strain on plant growth and will almost certainly impact plant production. With more watering, however, also comes more ...
Study demonstrates how gut microbes process steroids—using flatulence
Medical Xpress· 2 days agoThe work shows how gut bacteria can produce new hormones from steroids in bile and, in doing so, act like an endocrine organ. This research adds to the growing list of ways gut microbiota may ...
