Compared to other breads, sourdough is easier to digest, has less of an impact on blood sugar, and is potentially more nutritious.

Have you ever wondered about the sheer joy of learning something completely unnecessary? There's something magical about discovering facts that serve ...

There is so much information about the world and life itself out there that it’s almost unfathomable. And every now and then, you will learn new information that will blow your mind into a thousand ...

How can bacteria that forage on organic particles survive in vast ocean regions where such particles are extremely sparse? A ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.

Scientists at Arizona State University have uncovered surprising new ways bacteria move, even without their usual whip-like propellers called flagella. In one study, E. coli and salmonella were found ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

The gut microbiome—the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that inhabit the gastrointestinal tract—drives a process vital for protecting the colon against tissue injury, according to the findings ...

Antibiotic susceptibility in resistant bacteria is not static. New research shows that bacteria harboring resistance genes may respond differently to antibiotics if they are tested under conditions ...

Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

Baylor University researchers have published a novel approach to fight colorectal cancer, using modified bacteria as a courier to deliver potent cancer-killing proteins into tumor cells. Michael S.
