Scientists assess bacterial growth trajectories to better predict infectious capacity and the conditions that aid proliferation. This article explores the key factors that influence bacterial ...

In addition to their roles as disease vectors, bacteria and other microbes play an important part in modern science as essential tools for advancing biological research and synthetic biology. Methods ...

A vital component in many research fields is the ability to measure bacterial growth for fermentation, antibiotic effectiveness, synthetic biology, and food safety. Estimating bacterial growth ...

Scientists discovered that nitrous oxide can suppress certain soil microbes, potentially reshaping root microbiomes that help crops grow.

Plant growth is supported by millions of tiny soil microbes competing and cooperating with each other as they perform ...

Afforestation transforms degraded soils in semi-arid regions, increasing microbial necromass and enhancing soil carbon and nitrogen pools, thereby improving ecosystem health.
