Space-based experiments show that microgravity-induced mutations in bacteriophages may improve their ability to target ...

Researchers in the Raman Lab at UW recently published a study discussing sending microbes into space at the International ...

Bacteria incubated with bacteriophages in space accumulated distinct mutations compared to those on Earth, highlighting the ...

Bacteria need mutations -- changes in their DNA code -- to survive under difficult circumstances. When necessary, they can even mutate at different speeds. This is shown in a recent study by the ...

In a new study, scientists analyzed how a biological battle played out between a strain of E. coli and a T7 bacteriophage, ...

Marine bacteria are key to determining whether carbon is recycled near the ocean surface or transported to deeper waters, but many operate in constant threat of being infected by viruses called phages ...

While it is well-known that age, smoking, oral bacteria and genetic mutations can individually cause stomach cancer, a recent ...

Researchers have described how the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus genetically adapts to humans, including mutations that allow some strains to evade the immune system and become resistant to ...
