10-06-18 Some bacteria destroy oil. Might those bacteria lead oil companies to change their methods of harvesting the energy of the oil while at the same time reducing the carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) that burning oil and gasoline(汽油) discharges into the a...
10-06-14 A research team at the DOE Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC) has developed a powerful new tool that promises to unlock the secrets of biomass(生物量) degradation(降级,退化) , a critical step in the development of cost-effective cell...
10-06-04 McMaster University researchers have discovered a central controller or processing unit (CPU) of a superbug's weaponry(兵器,武器) . An article on the breakthrough appears in the high-impact journal Science today. The team from the Michael G. DeGr...
10-06-04 Keyboards located in triage(分类) and registration areas were found to be more contaminated(污染) with bacteria than those in other areas of the Emergency Department at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, according to a new study conducted by the ho...
10-05-25 Writing in the International Journal of Nanoparticles, Rani Pattabi and colleagues at Mangalore University, explain how blasting silver nitrate(硝酸银) solution with an electron beam can generate nanoparticles that are more effective at killing al...
10-05-24 The mineral-breathing bacteria found in many oxygen-free environments may be carbon-breathing as well. Oxygen-free, or anaerobic(厌氧的) , environments contain microbes sometimes described as mineral-breathing because they use iron oxides and othe...
10-05-21 Scientists have developed the first cell controlled by a synthetic(合成的,人造的) genome. They now hope to use this method to probe the basic machinery of life and to engineer bacteria specially designed to solve environmental or energy problems....
10-05-16 A team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute will send an army of microorganisms into space this week, to investigate new ways of preventing the formation and spread of biofilms(生物膜) , or clusters of bacteria, that could pose a t...
10-05-04 A North Carolina State University researcher has discovered that bacteria transmitted by fleasand potentially tickscan be passed to human babies by the mother, causing chronic infections(慢性感染) and raising the possibility of bacterially induced...
10-03-22 What better venue(场所,地点) than San Francisco sourdough(拓荒者,酵母) capital of the world to unveil a new natural sourdough ingredient(要素,原料) that could replace conventional(常见的,惯例的) additives in a variety of other breads, wh...
